Thanks and Praise

We are now safely back home in Maryland, missing you all. We are also missing the glorious weather we experienced in Georgia. It's a bit chilly here and we're expecting an even colder turn any day now.
The reunion went better than I ever hoped it would. I loved seeing those of you I've known all of my life, and meeting those of you who are new to me. What an incredible family we have!

Thank you to each and every one who were able to make it to the reunion. I hope that someday we'll have an even bigger reunion with more family members in attendance. Thank you all for helping to watch over Joseph, allowing me some rest. It helped immensely. Dad, thank you so much for coordinating the Tybee shuttle. I cannot imagine us trying to caravan all over Savannah in separate cars - the shuttle was a great idea. Thank you to William for settling Margaret's affairs and for lugging all of those boxes to Tybee. To all the cooks and cook's helpers, thank you for preparing the many superb meals we enjoyed and thanks to all of the grocery shoppers and cleanup helpers too. HUGE thanks to Laura for taking on the task of rounding us all up, getting us in line and accomplishing this reunion. Thank you for keeping our family history alive and for organizing it. You are an amazing woman! I love the DVD you presented and hope that you will send me a copy. We had such a long drive ahead, we left in a bit of a hurry.
I'm sorry that I missed saying my goodbyes to some of you. Gosh, I hope to be able to get to know you better in the future. We barely had a chance to talk. I will try to get my pictures online this week. You will be able to look at them via the album located on my blog. Well, I'm sure there's a lot more I should be saying, but you've all met Joe. Back to motherhood.
