Another Great-Grandchild for Mary

Wyatt, born to our oldest son, Chris and his wife, Tamara, on August 14 this year, is the youngest great-grandchild for Mom. Through the wonderfulness of the internet, I was able to share photos of Wyatt with Mom on a computer in the library at Summer Trace. She enjoyed that so much! Her family continues to grow...

Mom and Dad had 4 children: Gail, Chuck, Sarah (who died almost 10 years ago in October 2000) and me, Betsy. Our spouses add 2 sons-in-law, Bill and Phil, and 1 daughter-in-law, Cyndi.

Then Mom and Dad had 10 grandchildren: Erik, Jeni, Rebekah, Nathan, Micah, Jan, Rob, Mike, Chris and David. Those who are married add 7 spouses to the mix: Katy, Scott, Mike, Kara, Scott, Shelley, and Tamara. Add Micah's girlfriend, Anna, and that makes it 18 "present and accounted for" (so far) in that generation.

Now Mom (Dad died 18 years ago in May 1992) currently has 16 great-grandchildren: Madison, McKenzie, Kelsey, Eliza, Brianna, John, Lucy, Stephan, Tre, Mikah, T. J., Jayda, Henry, Eli, Isabel, and Wyatt. However, Nathan & Kara have one-on-the-way, so that will soon make 17, which would require a banquet table of 42 if we were to have a reunion with Mom and her collective family after that baby arrives!
