Annabelle’s Family and a Wedding

annabelles-family-and-a-wedding

Although sometimes it feels like we’re pretty far away from you all, it’s helpful for me to remember that Annabelle does indeed have quite a large family.

By my most recent count Annabelle has a mother, father, dog, and cat in her most immediate (and Durham based) family.

Added to that are 6 uncles and 1 aunt (Jordan, Chris, Neil, Dakota, Joe, Johanna, and Matthew) plus

  • 3 Grandmothers (Pamela, Brooke and Amy)
  • 2 Grandfathers (Rick & Trey)
  • 4 Great Grandmothers (Pat, Barb, Phyllis, and Neva —  AKA —  G.G., Grannie, Bahmah, and Mimi)
  • 2 Great Grandfathers (Dale & Tom)
  • 8 very special Great Aunts & Uncles (Trisha + Kuo & John + Jan & Bridget & Blaine & Brent + Rochelle  )
  • 5 delightfully sweet cousins (Lucas, Kate, Allison, Madison, and Noah)
  • 10 grand Great Great Aunts and Uncles (Harry, Doug, Alice, Mary Alyce, Duane, Janet, Janice, Bubba, Jean, and Archie)
  • not to mention 3 amazing adopted Aunts in Sara, Sara, & Gwen.

  • …and that’s just the family members she has already met or is very soon to meet!

    Annabelle’s family stretches across the country, from sea to sea, including North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, Illinois, Nebraska, Texas, and California!

    And, I’m excited to say, it will be increasing by one more member, as her uncle (my brother Joe Owens) will be marrying his fiance Yomayra in Puerto Rico less than 2 weeks from today!

    I grew up in a wonderful, but small family. I’m excited that my daughter will get to grow up with such a wonderful and large one.

    To all you family members of mine and hers who read this blog, I want you to know that you’re appreciated.

    Bonus News: Check back soon as there are some really great photo shoots we’re going to be uploading as soon as our sketchy internet connection allows!
