When we were all very young...and stilll wrapped in our parents embrace....seems like nothing could come between any of us....
but as we grew older.....and as life happened......some of us drifted apart.......and went out into the world on adventures of our own......
Sandy and Karol were always doing things on their own and seems like since they were the oldest, were destined to branch out into the world the fastest....and somehow.....life's journey has not seen fit to return them lovingly to the fold....
The younger five however, have managed to maintain a close and loving relationship with one another and boy have we had some good.......and bad..........times together but a strong bond has seemingly kept us close...With Philip in Charlotte and Becky lost to the farm in nowhere land (Tar Heel, NC) ....lol.......we miss seeing and talking to them on a daily basis but always seem to find time to get together for a weekend at the beach or a weekend at Moma and Daddy's ... and as the years have flown by...we have managed to create some beautiful granchildren for our parents to love...

front row....left to right.......Erica, James, Tyler & Elizabeth
As the famliy continues to grow, the bond between the generations is still very strong...these cousins remain close and love one another with a force to be reconned with...they sqaubble like cats and dogs amoung themselves, but bond together against the outside world and its forces that would choose to tear them apart.....there is nothing better in life than a family that you can count on.....GOD is the head of this family and it is GOD's grace and mercy that allows us to have the joy and peace of knowing that when in need...God first, then family in the best place to always be.
