My mom passed away 2 years ago with ovarian cancer.......the baton of Matriarch was passed to me. I could not pass up this photo op to share how her grandchildren will number 12 by this Christmas. She absolutely LOVED her family and her grandchildren.
My sisters (n-law) and I have something very special in common.......NO......it's not pregnancy this year! We all grew up with brothers ONLY! Needless to say, we know how to handle our brothers and we love having sisters after all those years without. Another quirky thing about us, our names all end with the same sound.......Tami, Nicki, Amie and Brylie.........as if God knew we would be sisters all along.....oh, yah, HE did!
However, as I mentioned above, all 3 are pregnant this year and I'm loving it! Being an aunt has got to be the most wonderful experience this side of Heaven........I know, you say being a grandparent is but I'm not ready for that.
Anyway, by Christmas of this year, I will have 10 nieces and nephews, age 8 and under. If that wasn't bad enough, 8 of them will be boys, age 4 and under! There's no question the Carlson name will continue for many generations to come! For those of you wondering and that know us......Amie is on the left, she's married to Janin and pregnant with their 3rd; Nicki is in the middle, married to Jody and pregnant with their 5th and that's Brylie on the right, married to Rance and pregnant with their 2nd.
Now having all those nieces and nephews hasn't caused me any gray hairs, but my son's blog on his trip to Michigan this past weekend HAS! If you get the chance, check it out......claddwellers.blogspot.com..........and feel my pain!
