I was doubly blessed this year to not only have my birthday fall on Thanksgiving but also have so much family gathered together. ALL of the Wadsworths, except for two, were here as well as my parents. It is quite a crowd. My dad was kind enough to take a giant Wadsworth family photo for us before the feasting began.
All the grandkids
The great thing about having so many people gathered together is nobody has to truly slave away for a great Thanksgiving feast. Each family brings a couple of dishes and dinner is set.
The day after Thanksgiving this wonderful, thoughtful, hard-working boy was baptized.
Where has the time gone? Seriously it seemed like just yesterday we welcomed our first son into the world and then BAM! he’s eight years old and getting baptized.
I am so grateful for the wonderful gift of family! They are the world to me. I learn so much being a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. It was such a great weekend having my parents visit, the two oldest home for college, and being together.
Congratulations on your sons baptism! So exciting to see him make righteous choices. Although I am sure it is a little hard for you to realize how grown up he is. 🙂
How many in the Wadsworth clan? My MIL told us she has 4 more great grandchildren to be born and that will put her family at nearly 100 people!
I project into the future and that’s where I’ll be if my children choose to have large families. Kindof crazy!!
Congrats to your oldest son! Such a great day!
If I counted correctly there are sixty-five so far. Twelve in the original family and then branching off from there. Two siblings recently got married, with one sibling left to go (she’s eligible!). There are 44 grandchildren.
Congratulations on the baptism! I’ve been reading your blog since right before he was born (around the time my oldest child was born–we had her baptism on November 15th). You are one of my “mentor moms”–a mom with kids older than mine who are turning out to be wonderful people! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas for raising a family.
Go Special Dark!!! What a great weekend for you all. I am a little jealous of the large family. It seems so wonderful. Enjoy and know you are blessed.
