Can you say BIG?

This weekend was my cousin's wedding! It was beautiful and so special. What an answer to prayer that she found a man to love both she and her 4 yr. old son. We are so happy for them. One thing for sure, the Bockelman side of the family rolls out for weddings! Just look at our family pic taken after the wedding.See that sweet couple on the front? That's my grandparents - Vernor & Barbara - they've been married for 65 years! What a legacy they have left for this family. All of this started with the 2 of them (and we were even missing a few)! Let me break it down for you. Grandpa & Grandma (2) - 3 daughters & husbands (6) - 9 Grandchildren & spouses (15) - 18 Great Grandchildren - 1 sister & brother in law (2). That's 43 total in this picture. And just for the record, we were missing 16 others, which would have brought the grand total to 59!!! That's a lot of family and I love it! We don't get to see each other as much as we would like, but we have lots of fun when we do. Grandpa & Grandma sponsor a family reunion for the family every other year & usually everyone tries to make it. This is our summer to have the reunion! You can just imagine the noise level when we get together!! God has blessed this family abundantly.
