Family...

This weekend all of my sisters and their families are together...in one location again. It feels great to have all four of us and my mom together again. In fact, it's fun! It's also chaotic too but I wouldn't want it any other way. Hannah and Caroline both are enjoying their time with the cousins and I love to watch how they interact with everyone. Hannah is constantly running around and Caroline is just smiling and laughing at all the activity.

I am thankful for all of it. As I looked around this evening and watching everyone laugh, talk and just have a good time, I couldn't help but wonder what my dad would think. I know he is looking down on all of us tonight and smiling. He's smiling at the memories he has and watching the memories being made. AND he's witnessing the women his daughters have become. For that I am thankful. Doesn't make me miss him any less but I know he is part of all that we do, even if it's from Heaven. =)
