ALL Easter's are special simply because of what it reminds us as Christians of Jesus' sacrifice but this year was EXTRA special for a very small reason. It was the first year that we were able to get a COMPLETE "family" picture! Many people know that the Day Family is very much a part of our own. It all started when this "girl" who looked and acted a lot like me showed up at Great Hills many, many years ago. I still remember ALL the stories like they were yesterday and smile at the bond that God created through that. Some of the kids to this day still get "Mom" and "Aunt Ha-ha" confused in pictures. Of course, that was pre-brunette and colored-blonde!
This FRIENDSHIP that grew into a very close knit FAMILY began a little over 15 years ago, however, it seems as if Angie and Tracey have been in our lives long before that. I couldn't have ASKED for a better Big Brother and Big Sister than they are. And I couldn't have PRAYED for 7 "nieces and nephews" such as the ones in this picture. I was at the birth at every single one of them and have always been the first to KISS them (Mom's tummy) before they entered God's amazing world. They give me more love than I need or want and my heart leaps with JOY every time I hear the words
"Aunt Ha-ha!"
