L to R: Mark (31), moi, Amy (34), Nicholas (6-1/2), and Donica
This doesn't happen very often so grab it while you have it! Someone on my photoblog site requested that I post a family pic after our mini-family Christmas celebration on Saturday. They'll get it tomorrow; you'll get it first today! :)
Anyway, most of you already know us by now (my 2 children, grandson and domestic partner). Oh yes, don't forget the camera, which took the pic and is very much a part of our family! I'll have to come up with a good name for her, I see.
We have 2 days now to get ready for our flight from Atlanta to Michigan for a few days at the Hart Family Cottage. All of us, including Dennis (Amy's beau) will fly together on Thursday (except for Nicholas, who will be with his dad). Dennis flies in today from LA.
But I'll say Good-Bye on Thursday before we leave.... :)
In the meantime, I hope you're all recuperating from the Christmas hubbub.

Rare and beautiful! I'd love a copy of this one. Only two more days!! I only wish Nicholas would be there too. :(
ReplyDeleteSweet pic and a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ruth--too bad Nicholas can't be with us. His time is always over the July 4th weekend. But once a year really isn't enough. Hmmm. We'll have to work on that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on the pic. Maybe we'll bring up a copy for the fridge. :)
Lisa: You're a sweetheart. Thanks.
Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your documentation of your time in Michigan. It's such a delight to look in on a such a loving and closely - knit family!
Aww, this turned out rather nice! Thanks for capturing this rare and wonderful moment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! Everyone looks so happy and contented.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful, relaxing time in Michigan.
Jozee: Your words mean the world to me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAmy: We don't have many family pics of us, do we! I agree that it did turn out rather nice. :)
Christina: Thanks, dear friend. Happy and contented is right. We are very fortunate. We really look forward to our time in Michigan!
Great family picture! Love the smiles.
ReplyDeleteHelloooo!!!!! :) Nice family portrait, Ginnie! Everyone seems so peaceful! :) May you and Donica have the best of Holidays! Take care! :)
ReplyDeleteTim: Awww. Thanks! We love being together and have lots to smile about! :)
ReplyDeleteMP: Thank you, my dear friend. The very same to you.
I love family portraits and yours is wonderful! You all look so happy and relaxed. Amy and Nicholas have the same smile. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't do a family portrait on my blog, I have many shy family members. Altho they can't escape the family website! (Insert evil grin here).
Thanks, dear, dear Mad. I understand about the shyness factor--or the security factor. Trust me. Donica always says I'm much more trusting than she is.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had your own blessed Christmas in San Fran...and now in your hideaway with Jimmy. Enjoy!
Ohh yes, Christmas time is family gathering time and this picture was so lovely - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour cam: Why don't you call 'her' Miss Memoryhook?
A wonderful family shot :)
ReplyDeleteHave a safe journey to the cottage. I'm looking forward to reading about the holiday!
Renny: You of all people know about family time! And calling my camera Miss Memoryhook is a great idea! :) Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteDW: Thanks, as always, for your comment! And you will definitely hear about the holiday, to be sure--after the 1st!
Wow! This is a cool picture! I love those family portraits!
ReplyDeleteRecuperating? It's Wednesday and I just begin too... I'm taking care of my brother's dog (and house, and car, and...), so I'm not at my apartment, not at my pc... It's a little bit more difficult to recuperate, but I will... untill New Year's day... :O)

ReplyDeleteClo: Awwww. So glad to see you before the end of the year! :) Just pamper yourself these days, assuming you're off work? Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful photo! Nice to see you all together!
ReplyDeleteGinnie - Love the photo of all of you. I know you had a wonderful Christmas. Dennis is so excited to be headed to Michigan with you. Wishing you all a safe and great trip. Glad to see Donica looking so well. Enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteET: Thanks, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteJudy: Yes, Yes and Yes! I am just now packing up my laptop after this reply. Soon we'll be on our way. Yeah!
