When we have a family get together, it appears to be total chaos.
There are small groups of adults and children scattered all over having various conversations or games or activities going at the same time.
I love it. I can walk around and stop and catch a little of what is going on in each area.
I see cousins playing, even with little ones walking through the game. They just pick up the pieces and keep going. the little ones can wander around and still have the security of moms or dads and yet explore new things and new people. They get scooped up and kissed and let back down to continue their travels around the house.
The guys gravitate in one place and sports will be discussed, again little ones wandering in and out of the tall people.
The women tend to group and talk, garden, recipes, babies, upcoming weddings, sharing ideas and the newest milestone of a child, etc.
As I walk around and observe, what I see is a family of all ages interacting and spending time together. There are loud conversations, a lot of laughter, teasing and squeals of babies.
It is loud and chaotic to some but, to me, it is one of the most wonderful sounds there is.

Almost poetic.

thanks, not bad for an old person. See what you started with just teaching me how to email?
Not as good as the young people but I am having fun at my attempts.
Would Taylor be one of the little ones walking through the game? ;-)
I think they all did it at some point, they just all love being with the older kids and seeing what they are doing. I was so impressed that the older ones just picked up the pieces and kept going. The little ones soon learned to go on to other things.
