Family is so important in all of our lives, yet we tend to take advantage of those we love the most. I love this picture, I just wish Ricci was in it. We had gone to dinner at El Matador, my fav, and then headed over to the park and let the kids play. I think we had more fun there than the kids did, and they had a lot of fun. I will forever remember this night. You go about your day to day activities and worries and the phone call you miss doesn't seem too big of a deal , you can always call back later. My family is so strong and close. They all have been a rock and an inspiration to me my whole life. We Smith's tend to stick together no matter what, something our mom and dad imbedded into us since we were little. I have so many memories as do all of us of family, through good times and bad. I have been lucky to have such a family that not only includes my immediate family, but a bunch of extended and friends that are just as close as family and in my mind just as important. I plan on sharing stories of such family and I love these blogs to share them with my family. Well that's my soapbox for the night. I was just having one of those days where I needed to share my feelings. Aren't you all lucky to be apart of it!!!!

Well thanks a lot! I miss you even more now! I love that picture and I inserted Ricci right in it. We are very lucky to know the importance of family in our lives. Your family is one of the reasons why I want more children. I want my kids to have their own "people", the kind that hang around forever! I want them to have family parties with more than 4 people there. I want to have "Smith" family gatherings. (Well probably not THAT many Smiths, but you get my meaning!) I love you baby!
I miss all of you so much! I love that picture. I love our family too, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Once you are away from it, you realize how lucky you are. I feel very lucky to have such a great family. Love you.
seeing that picture makes me wish that I had more sisters or even brothers to share my life with, but I'm grateful for what I do have. It is amazing how your friends step in when you don't have the big famiy and become your family.
I love ya and hope to see you soon.
