Francis Family Reunion


We had so much fun in Utah the first week in July - we're now seriously having withdrawals. We had a blast hanging out with Mark's family and I miss them terribly. It's hard living so far away from eachother - I've gained so much love and respect for all of my sisters-in-law and I wish I could see them more often. My brothers-in-law are easy to talk to and I have a good time when I'm bugging them. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Gracie play with her cousins - I only wish this could happen more often - maybe someday it will. We haven't been able to get everyone together as a family in a few years - there's always been someone missing - but not this year, so we took advantage of that and got our family photo taken. It was great to see how much the fam has grown in comparison to the last family photo that was taken just after Mark and I got married - we've added 5 new people to the family - 4 kids and 1 adult. I love the Francis family and I consider them to be my family. At church a few Sundays ago we were discussing family legacies ... as I sat there next to my sisters-in-law and my mother-in-law (most of us crying) I felt so warm inside and I felt closer to them than ever before - I consider their family's legacy to be my legacy. I love this family.

It was so fun to see you guys! I loved the story about Grace and Dylan being twins! Can't wait to see you- hopefully sooner than later.
