Happy Father's Day

I want to wish Happy Father's Day to my Dad and to my hubby (even though he is not my dad).

I have the bestest dad in the whole wide world. At least in my whole wide world. He has always been there for me & I know he would do anything for me. You can't ask for more than that.

Happy Father's Day Dad! I love you!!!

And to Mike: You are a terrific father (even if your boys don't always think so). I know that you want the best for your boys and would do anything for them. I hope that someday they will appreciate all that you do for them. And thanks for being a friend & role model for my son. It means the world to me.

Happy Father's Day honey!!

Love,

Kim

And Happy Father's Day to the rest of you dads. Now go enjoy your day!

Father's day & photos of Gunner

Father's Day was last Sunday 6/15. Since we had the pool party the day before, I celebrated Father's Day with my Dad then. So it was nice to spend Sunday with just my immediate family. Mike's oldest son Brandan, his wife Crystal & our grandson Gunner came up from San Diego for the day.

Since Mike works down in San Diego he gets to see Gunner quite a bit. But I hadn't seen Gunner for about 2 months. So I was happy to spend some time with him. Gunner is getting so big. He is now 10 months old & starting to walk. In fact, he took his first steps today for all of us. It was quite exciting.

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.
