Home Again

[heidi_and_colin]

Back home now. Note to self- 12 hours driving in 48 hours by yourself is too many. I did stop and stay the extra night with my BIL/SIL so I arrived home this morning. Last night when I went to sleep I felt like a sailor, I still had the rocking motion going like I was in the car.

Damn I have a lot of cousins. I met some for the first time too.

Welcome back. :)

Welcome home.

I'm curious (and nosy) - do you have an aunt/uncle who had a baby very late in life or a huge age span among your aunts and uncles? (Trying to figure the 42 year gap)

Both. My grandmother had 8 children. The oldest had a son very young (he grew up with his uncles). The youngest uncle had a child very late in life - as in his first son is almost 30, his daughters are 20, 16, and then his son 6.

There are great-grandchildren having babies now. So that oldest 1st cousin of mine (48) has just had grand-children (2 actually - one a month ago? and one last Friday).

You have to include the number of fights in the list. Anytime our family gets together, even for a funeral, the good bet is at least 5 spats.
