This past weekend we traveled down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for the Pittman family reunion. This is my mom's side of the family, more specifically her mom's side of the family. My grandma's maiden name was Ruhama Jane Pittman, (and she is why our Emily is now the 4th generation with the middle name Jane.) It was wonderful getting to see aunts, uncles and cousins that I hadn't seen in over 10 years. Many of the family hadn't ever met Josh or Emily. I loved having the opportunity to share my little family with my much, much bigger extended family. So many of them commented on how proud my mom would be, and how very much she would love both Josh and Emmy....I think this same thought every single day. I long for them both to know what it would be like to be loved by her, she had a way of making you feel so special. I can only hope they do see her and feel her love....through me. I know she would've been so happy that we were able to attend the Reunion, which is why we are going to do a much better job of staying in touch with that side of the family. The Reunion will be held every 3 years, and we're already looking forward to the next one. :)
