Several family members have been posting some old family pictures lately on Facebook and it’s been fun seeing ones I’ve never seen before. This is one that I had never seen and I don’t even remember taking it.
This was taken in Knoxville, Tennessee, back in 1989, at our big family reunion. The woman in the middle is my great-grandmother, my dad’s dad’s mom. She’s passed away now, and this trip is the only time that I remember having met her. I’m the third kid from the right, the biggest one, lol. I was 9 years old in this picture. My brothers are next to me and my sister is between me and our great-grandmother. On the other side are three of my cousins. These aren’t all of my cousins though–just on my dad’s side, I have 15 first cousins. And then another 14 first cousins on my mom’s side. That’s what happens when your dad is one of seven kids and your mom is one of six! 😉
