Unfortunately, when you don't live near relatives, you sometimes only have photographs to help stimulate a memory. I found this photo and remembered something we used to try to do with our kids when they were little.
Every time we went back to Ohio to see family we would decide on a day, and whoever was there that day was in our special photo. The Ohio folks will recognize this as the rock outside Grandma and Grandpa's apartment. We put all the kids on the rock and here was our special photo from that trip.
As an Aunt or Uncle it would sometimes be the only photo we would have for years, or until the next time we all got together. I love all my nieces and nephews, from both families. What's hard is trying to remember a lot of times spent with them and realizing there really weren't that many. So now I'll shoot for more vacations, or emails, or calls...
Maybe a family get together?
