More Sisters!!!!

So Karl and his dad "reconnected" about 4 years ago. Which is great! We were starting to plan our wedding and since my dad is gone, I thought it was important to not let any more time pass. I called the only "Hobdy" I found in Michigan, since we knew his grandparents lived there. I asked for "George" and was told he passed away. UGH!!! My heart sank. After a few more questions to whom I found out was my Aunt, I realized that Karl's grandfather had passed, also George. To the family Karl's dad is Ray. Mixed emotions. Very sad that Karl's grandfather had passed, but joy that Karl still had time to reconnect with his father.

I hung up with Aunt Geri (sp?) after giving her our phone number. Not more than 5 minutes past...the phone rang...Karl's dad.

They were both so happy. Karl and his dad have maintained a constant relationship.

So we knew there were 3 sisters in NJ. Well surprise..there's 4. Elyssa was the first to start talking to Karl. He was more than excited!





Baby girl is 13. :)






Last week we heard from Adrianne and Davida. These two Karl remembers playing with when he was little.

Elizabeth was just a baby last time Karl saw her. Now she's all grown up.



This is Elizabeth with Elyssa at her 8th grade graduation.




And just to embarrass my sisters some more... Here's the last time they were all together (except Elyssa)

I really don't know why you are all so embarrassed. Karl looks like Arnold from different strokes. "Whatcho talking 'bout Willis."
:) (you may be too young to know who that is?)

Elizabeth is the baby.

So we are all talking now. We're all reconnected. And this is for good. We are not giving this up! Adrianne and I decided. So the rest of you are stuck with us.

I know my girls are dying to meet the rest of their aunts.

Elyssa how does it feel to have a niece as old as you? :)

Oh yeah, and as a bonus....I have a niece and nephew. YEAH!!

The Next Generation







I can not wait until we all get together.

We need a family reunion.
