Happy Mother's Day

I want to wish Happy Mother's Day to my mom. I love you very much. You mean the world to me. I am so honored to have you as my Mom.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you!

I also want to take the time to wish Happy Mother's Day to all the woman in my extended family. Even if you don't have children of your own, you are still a great influence to the nieces, nephews and cousins and other children who are in your life. So even if you don't have your own, you are still a "Mommy" influence to your loved ones.

Happy Mom's Day to you!

Now go something nice for your mom, or for yourself.

Kim

Welcome

Hi! My name is Kim and I started this blog so that our extended family could reconnect with one another. We are all descendants of Merlin & Edith Manning (or married to someone who is). There are 3 branches to our Manning Family Tree. Branch 1 is Dorothy's family (I belong to this branch). Branch 2 is Joni's family. And Branch 3 is Marilyn's family. And of course each branch now has sub branches as the grand children (of which I am one) have their own families & now even the sub branches have sub branches as some of the great grandchildren have their own families as well.

It has been my hope that each member of my extended family would want to be a part of this blog and participate. It's been iffy at best. But some of them do participate with me & some have their own blogs. I've listed those under Family Blogs. At least we are getting to know each other again & I love it!!

The rules of our blog are that we can post as little or as much as we want. We can add photos, videos, funny jokes, emails that we receive & want to share, join in other bloggers memes (blog parties), etc. But most importantly to let us know what is going on in each others lives. Kind of like a journal that we are willing to let everyone read. There really are no rules. Just to be sure to log on every few days to see what is new. Or you can subscribe & you will be notified each time there is a new post.

Even if you are not family, you are more than welcome to enjoy our blog & leave comments. The more the merrier! We love making new friends and are not opposed to adoption.
