Its not just about me, the adopted one, but the ROOTS of this family tree go down DEEP. Its been beautiful to see how my newly found biological family has enveloped my two kids, and their family. Friendships developed on their own, memories made spontaneously, and always something upcoming on the calendar. This has been an exciting year of my life, finding my family. I went from having two kids, to a huge family. And what's best, they are WONDERFUL friends!!! No turnin' back now!! (:>)
Talk about feeling loved! Here you see me between my two 1st cousins, Robb & Chuck Neill. These two guys are INCREDIABLE!!
First stop on our 2007 Family Rendezous was Newnan, Ga. The home of my son, Jason Preston and his family. The families are blending beautifully.
In this picture are SIX of my 1st cousins, and A BUNCH of second cousins!! We gathered to celebrate family in Pigeon Forge, Tn at a local Stucky's.
My Orlando family, cousins Donna Highsmith, Dawn Roberts, and Mildred Swanson taken at a family gathering.
<L: 1st cousin, Robert Shiffler. He is the 1st born child of my mother's next oldest sister, Betty. What a heck of a nice guy! Robert lives with his wife in Maggie Valley, NC. A place my family vacation every year.
Selina & Precious live just one hour from me. These two make me feel like sisters I never had. They are daughters to my mother's next born sister, Betty.
I am blood related to everyone in this picture!!
R> Bobby & Anna Shiffler. Bobby is the son of my cousin, Robert (above), and Anna is his daughter. They are located in Crestview, Fl.
