This last Thursday Grandma Pearl met Uncle Ron up in Billings and together they drove down to AZ in Grandma's new car. She still had the car she purchased 20 years ago, so Ron found a nice 2006 Buick at a great price. Now, Uncle Charlie is gonna drive around her old car. Sumer and I agree that he'll be stylin' in it!
We once again had a family dinner on Sunday. It's was a lot of fun! Got to see Pam, Mel, Paulette, Clara, Robert, Todd, Julie, Sumer and Tyler, and of course Grandma, Ron, Charlie and his crew. We had a wonderful time with our extended family and getting to know them better.
We found out that Charlie and Candy are planning on getting married next April on a cruise to Barbados. That's cool, and everyone is invited to attend as long as you can pay for your way.
When we were leaving, I had a great moment with Uncle Ron. We were hugging goodbye and he told me that he loves me. It actually made me stop and think for a second. That was the first time an uncle has told me that. It made me realize that even though we don't know each other very well, we still love one another. I know I love my nieces and nephews and always will, so why wouldn't my own uncles (or aunts) feel the same? I just thought that was really neat and I wanted to share it with you all.

That does give you something to think about. I think it's been a little harder for us, since we haven't been able to see our extended family very often. That's something that I don't want for my boys. Everybody needs family and to know that they love you.
I love that Ron told you that. Sounds like it's been one great visit after another. Now we just need to visit each other!!
