His Mom
Wonders of the past few weeks...
1. Den and I enjoyed this documentary recently. Identical triplets adopted into 3 different families. None of the boys knew the others existed until they accidentally came together. Fascinated us both.
2. Our granddaughters, Scarlett and Annie are over 2 years apart, yet they are nearing the same size. McKenna says they get mistaken for twins.
4. I had forgotten we had this sibling picture taken at my Dad's 80th birthday party so it made me happy to find it.

Our family in 1887
So this story will make sense, I will start with my grandparents,
Earl and Lella Slinkard...
Casey and I have the same Great Great Grandparents, Solomon and Laura Slinkard.
Elizabeth is Casey's Great Grandma, and my Great Aunt.
The sister just under Elizabeth, is Ellen my Great Grandma.
And do you see Laura down a few years on that list?
She had quite the story that made headlines back in the day.
Casey's Great Grandma Elizabeth, (after the death of her first husband), with her new husband Mr W William Hughes, and her youngest daughter Henrietta.
Cousin Casey has an interesting website with lots of personal stories: Write Me Something Beautiful.
Meet my 3rd cousin Casey in this 10 minute film. It's about an incredible experience he went through shortly after the death of his son.

This is how we get to know him better...
Our almost 10 year old grandson Grant, loves to draw. He's incredibly bright. He also has autism.
So often we don't know what's going on in his mind. But now that he draws, it's like opening up this huge surprise each time.
Drawing hair styles is one of his specialties.
But so far this one has been my most favorite of all!
She's just looking out for others...
On Instagram last week I saw this picture of my niece Kaidy.
I was a bit alarmed. To me, it looked like she was at a clinic or maybe ER. So I reached out to her and asked if she was okay....
Look what happened last night
