Wilson Family Visit

My mom has a Girls' Weekend once per year with her mom and two sisters. (My grandparents had six children - my mom is the oldest. There are three girls, then three boys.) The girls usually meet at my mom's house, because she lives in the middle. Last year, they didn't get together because my aunt was not feeling well enough to travel that far. In previous years, we lived in Texas, so I wasn't able to visit during their weekend.

I had not seen my grandma and Aunt Sharon since November 2007 and had not seen Aunt Marcia since March 2007. So, even though we had a very busy weekend planned already, Harrison & I took a quick road trip to go see them. We drove late at night on Saturday and returned home Sunday evening. It was well worth the 8 hours of driving for a couple of hours with family!! I love my family! Whenever I am with the Wilson family, I feel like I am with my own kind. We look alike, act alike and really enjoy one another's company.

It was really funny to look at all of the cars in the driveway. We had license plates from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Talk about a midwestern family!

Both of my brothers live within an hour of my parents, so they each dropped by with their families. I don't think I've had a pic of me and my brothers since I was pregnant with Franklin 10 years ago! From left: Ryan, Grandma, me, Owen
