Extended Family

I think it is only appropriate the day before this family filled holiday weekend to express my gratitude for my extended family. I have a lot of it between the Taggards and Rowes. Both mike and I have the best parents. We have never felt like we were not able to count on them to help, support and love us. All four of them have also accepted and loved all of our children, adopted, natural and foster. We also have several brothers and sisters in our families. Some of them are blood related, some married in and others just feel like brothers and sisters but we love them all. We both grew up in close families and it is great to see that close relationship grow and evolve as everyone grows up and starts adding to the family. We also have lots of aunts, uncles and cousins too. A bunch! We always feel accepted and loved when we go to family functions and have a great time catching up with everyone too.

Really, you guys have no idea just how much family we have and the fact that we enjoy to be around them says a lot about each and every one of them. I hope that everyone out there is as blessed as our family is and have lots of love and joy this weekend.
