family
I love my family! We were together at mom and dads sunday, and as we were laughing and joking around, my sil made a comment on our unique family dynamics. It got me to thinking how lucky I am to have the family that I do. I love it that we are invited down to my parents most Sundays for lunch, and that we love to go! The kids ask every sunday if we're going to grandma and grandpa's for lunch...and if their cousins will be there too. And if we have other plans, or they have other plans, so we don't go...the kids are always dissapointed, even if we have other great stuff planned. I love that. When we are there, we always laugh...lots. We can be playing a game of domino's and we laugh. Sometimes we just sit around and tell stupid stories and laugh. Sometimes we make fun of each other..and laugh! That's not to say things don't get serious sometimes, or that we are infallible...each one of us makes mistakes and and we end up hurting or bugging each other sometimes...but forgiveness is unquestionable...and the acceptance in spite of our faults is comforting. What a safe place to fall.

WOW....well put, a safe place to fall. That's what it should be. Great post.
WM, I love this post! Every family has their unique dynamics - our is no exception. B is usually the one that gets us all in stitches and then to see her and our brother together - that is quite something to see. The one relationship that I struggle the most with in my family is my sil. I love her to bits - for her creativity, her gentle and caring personality, but I want a friendship kind of relationship with her. I am finding it difficult to connect on a personal, comfortable level. Ususally when we are together, it is together with the kids (whom I adore and love) but I miss building on our own relationship. Anyway, these are just some of my own thoughts. It is probably time to begin my own blog, eh???
Awwww ... don't you hope your kids will feel this way about coming home to the folks when they're your age. I do!!!
I DO hope my kids want to come home all the time! I want to laugh and have lots of fun together! And I want so badly for my home to be a safe place where you can make mistakes and all is forgiven. Bev, you can live your blogging life vicariously through me as long as you need...:)
I speak from personal experience...she's not making this stuff up, folks! The feeling is mutual...
