A Fun Day with the Tbo family

So most of you know that I was adopted. Well, when you're adopted you don't know anyone that looks like you unless of course you know some people in your family, I don't. So, when I married Jim first of all I thought it was so cool that Jim actually knows and is friends with his dad's cousins kids. He grew up with them going to Camp Blue Haven. But not only does he know them, they all look alike, especially the Turnbough boys. This is so intriguing to me, as funny as it sounds. So, since I love event planning and Jim's family is a very good family-family then I have been planning their family reunion for the past two years. Jim's great-grandmother Ella "Granny" Turnbough, yes who we are also naming our child after, passed away about 10 years ago and at that time she said that they better not stop doing the family reunion. Well, of course they did because no one would take it on and everyone got scattered as kids got older and married with their own kids. So this year we had about 40 people come from all over to Lubbock for a day of fun at Buffalo Springs Lake. It's a great place to get together and the kids can swim which is a huge blessing because it keeps them occupied. Needless to say, I was especially exhausted by the end of the day and was having contractions so I thought Ella might decide to make her appearance but no, they were just "you've been on your feet too long" contractions so when I finally ate and sat down they stopped. Here are a few pics from our fun day with the Tbo family.

That is so nice of you to plan that! You are such a good little event planner. I'm betting on Ella this week, I'm thinking Thursday. Lv, rp

I am so excited for you to have a beautiful little girl that looks JUST like you! I'll get in on the bet with Rach...this week, but I'll say Wednesday (just to be different).
