Family

We have spent the last few days with Carrie’s family. Being an only child of two only children, I am not used to having tons of family all around me. I feel like I kind of missed out on a part of something growing up. But, nevertheless, I am glad Carrie’s family puts up with me.
We went to Carrie’s cousin’s Ben’s wedding. It was a lot of fun. I realized that in being part of a big family, everyone has a role. The oldest sibling is the one with the plan (my mother-in-law). The oldest person has to make sure everyone is fed (Grandma Shirley). There is the comedian (JJ), the musician (Jesse), the fun-loving younger aunt (Jan), the hyper, but highly intelligent kid (Spencer), the one with the contagious laugh (Nancy) the cutie pies (Marnie, Tori, and Wyatt), and everyone else fits in somewhere. The point is that every family is unique in its own way and every family grows…and grows…and grows. The last time we got together for a family picture, there was no Wes, no Wyatt, no Kelly, no Tori, no Bethany, etc., etc. So when we got together for the family pic I couldn’t help but think that the next time we do this, there will be even more! (Of course, there will be NO MORE Lassiters!)
Okay, enough of the good feelings…I have a score update. The other night while trying to sleep I had a major allergy attack. Sneezing for 45 minutes straight! So, Wildlife (which includes pollen) 3, Lassiters 2. I hope those deer get out of the road the next time I’m driving because I play to win!
