Mother’s Day 2008, Lake Forest, California

I flew out to California from Pennsylvania this year to surprise my mother for Mother’s Day.  My daughter and granddaughter joined me and the three of us drove to my brother’s home to surprise her.  This picture commemorates the occasion.  It was a wonderful day and one none of us will forget.

My mother is in the middle, I’m standing behind her, my daughter on my mother’s left, and my granddaughter is on her right.

On my trip to California in June to visit family, I wanted a family group picture of each family (I have two children) and these were my favorites out of the group. I love the laughter and lightness in each picture, and I smile each time I see both of these pictures.

While Dan and Michael were still posing for a serious picture, Paige and Hallie were goofballs!  I love the interaction of this family. . . . and they are also, mine all mine!

Thoughts of my California family can bring smiles to my face, but pictures of them can just make me giggle giddingly!

I’m a family kinda gal. . .
