James Family Reunion






Each year, my mother's side of the family has a reunion. Since all the syblings from her generation have passed, it has now been passed down to my generation to carry the torch. The responsibility for planning and hosting rotates each year among the cousins. This year was mine and Patty's. We had family from Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessess and Florida all travel to Red Top Mountain State Park for a two day picnic. We could not have asked for better weather and everyone enjoyed themselves. Here are some pics from the reuion.

Anna's Pool




For years I begged Patty to let me install an above ground pool with no success. Now when Anna wants an above ground pool, she gets one, thanks to Patty's friend Miranda.

She stands!


Ladies & gentlemen, I would like to introduce the Standing Anna. Just 1 day shy of 7 months and Anna can pull herself up and stand by herself. It caught us off guard as we put her by the crib and turned to see her standing. Time to lower the pad in the crib.
