There are so many coincidences associated with my family but their meaning may just be, "We are not alone." We have twin girls and twin boys born 15 years apart. The twins that were born in 47 turned 62 last November. The twins that were born in 62 turned 47.. At the time the twin boys were born, our street address was 6247. My dad's sister and great great granmother (who was a twin) all share the same birthday in Nov.

My mother wanted to have a big family, like her mother's mother.. It turns out that she had the same amount of children and the same amount of boys and girls..
Our birth years run from the mid 40's to the mid 60's.. Our stories/perceptions are so different.. A long time ago I was talking to my sister when our young children were playing with each other.. I told her how difficult I felt it was for our mother. The hardships she faced and with very little help and appreciation. My sister looked stunned at my words.. She then told me that she felt our mother 'had it made'.. After a few rounds of sharing our views, I realized that I was feeling that our mother made motherhood look more difficult than it really was, and my sister felt she made it look too easy.. Perception is such a tricky thing..
I may share more family stories as this blog continues.. I will end this one with the 11 baby pics that I made into a guessing game for facebook friends, our last picture with the entire immediate family, and something my sister made and was on display at my wedding reception that was hanging near the wedding cake..
Big House Big House
Where love was so tender
Big House Big House
So Much to remember
The Bride and Groom
And the hopes of the young
They are moments together
A life just begun
Big House Big House
The joys and the laughter
Big House Big House
The tears that came after
To God we pray
In the heavens above
Bring Peace Bring Love
