Impromptu Gathering

Mikal texted me, "Will you be home Wed?" and it grew from there. Sure, I'd be home, and Dennis would be home from work earlier than normal, so it was decided he'd throw some burgers on the grill. Well, if he was cooking out, I'd invite Britney and Nick. . .

So they were in. Well, I better call Khris. . .sure, he could make it. When I inform Dennis all the kids (and significant others) could be here. His first response was, "Great!" (smiling), quickly followed by, "I better get more meat." lol

How true! I grew up an only child, the lonely only. . .but I gave birth to four wonderful people who keep adding more wonderful people to my life, and simply having a cookout with the kids can quickly grow. But it's all good! Imagine what it's like when we try to go to a restaurant!

When I passed all this info to mom (in Missouri) she said, "Better take a picture." Of course! All four kids had not been here at the same time since Thanksgiving! So, we grabbed the p&s and snapped a few in the backyard. We'll be getting better photos taken in about two weeks, when we all look snazzy at Mikal and Amy's wedding!

It's been a while since the kids have been on the blog so, let's introduce them again (left to right):

My middle son, Khristiaan and his girlfriend Ashley.

My youngest child, Haden (in the brown shirt).

Nick and my daughter, my oldest, Britney with their two children (Tristan in red and Adrianna in mama's arms).

Then, my oldest son, Mikal and his fiance, Amy ~ They are getting married June 26th, time is flying!
