Why is it that I feel like I'm talking to myself?

Helllllooooo out there!

Our second reunion

This is a reunion of my Grandma Fern's family. She was the youngest of 10 children, and several of them had 10 children. Grandma herself had seven. Then, of course, the kids had kids, who had kids, and you can see how big the family gets in an awful hurry!
Vernon and Annette are gracious enough to host this reunion every single year. We don't always make it, but when we do we sure get to see a lot of relatives, and it's wonderful.
L-R: me (uh, Jenny), Adena, Amber, Julie, Alicia, Atricia. Apparently we're the A & J Club. Except I'm the odd one out in this group because my Grandma was Fern, while all the rest of the girls are her brother Delbert's descendants. Two of them are even sisters.
And Julie--that beautiful girl there in the red skirt, she made us breakfast on Sunday morning, and what a breakfast it was! Scones, muffins, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, and lattes. She must have been up awful early, because we ate at eight.
Thank you so much, Julie.
Atrisha and her dad, Andy. Andy is also Adena's dad. You met her in the first picture. Actually, truth be told, this could be Atrisha with her uncle Bill, Andy's twin brother. I never was very good at telling the two apart even if I do have a triplet husband.
Now this here...this is me and my "twin" Kristen. (Hi Kristen!! *waving enthusiastically*) We've always looked quite similar and it's so fun to see her when I can. She lives far far away from me. Her dad is Bill, one of the twins.
And, us.
The end!

When Patty & I were first married, we met with Bill & Linda, but I never learned to tell the twins apart. Now when I see them, I don't know who I am talking to.

Nice reunion collection. It's always fun to look back at them as the years go by and kids grow up!

Brina, Natalie was there with her baby girl but I didn't get a picture of either one.
