Home Movies

Tonight we spent Sunday evening at my parents.
After a delicious dinner, someone brought up the topic of
Home Movies.
We spent the next hour or so watching some favorites,
I was about 9 years old in all of them.
In them we were swimming,
playing with my Grandmother and Grandfather Furnell,
(my mother's parents)
Aunt Janice and Uncle Steve,
(my mom's sister and husband)
helping my 15 month old brother learn to walk,
having a snow fight,
in Tucson, AZ
on Christmas morning.
(Which is Amazing in and of itself...)

What memories!
That's what I'm grateful for tonight.
The memories from a happy,
I mean truly happy,
childhood.
We were always together as a family,
and we were always laughing.
I can't think of a better way to grow up.
And, I hope my children feel the same way one day.
