The Family Walk

The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.  ~Erma Bombeck




To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.  ~Barbara Bush
 



If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable - each segment distinct.  ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin





At the end of the day, a loving family should find everything forgivable.  ~Mark V. Olsen









Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.  ~Jane Howard




FF (Fun Facts) Sean came to this walk straight from work, so he was obviously in work clothes and shoes. He did not have a jacket on him, so he borrowed an extra one from Todd. Which happened to be a black leather jacket. lol. Sean looked like he was going on a job interview, not on a walk. Love him.

  1. I just loved all of us pulling away from what we had been "distracted" with all day and having some family time...even though it was a little chilly! Cooper laughing at Todd on roller blades was the best! We need to do that more often. Kudos to Amanda for challenging us all to get out and walk.

  2. Brrr..it was cold! It would be fun to go more often, maybe earlier! And we can all wear rollerblades! haha. I thought hearing Rich talk about going on that 25 mile walk was pretty funny! ;)
    thanks Amanda! xoxo
