Thanks Holly!

What Richard and I give out does come back in ways we sometimes don’t even expect.

Hi Helen,

I am forever grateful that my husband’s “ex” family kept him when his ex-wife divorced him. It certainly has redefined family for me (and I come from a blended box of fruits, nuts and flakes!)

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for stopping by today. It’s not always easy to maintain this relationship, but it is so very worth it! It’s complicated, messy, fun, and above all else, loving.

I believe you really described what families are or should I say should be today. It is not only the people who are related to you but also people who really care about you or someone in your family. This caring does not need to end when a relationship stops that brought you together. The family just continues to grow as new people are added. You clearly have the definition of a modern family.

Peggy – your lovely family never ceases to amaze me. Kudos to all of you!

My darling husband likes to joke that ascertaining my relationship with my parents was part of my ‘job interview’. I don’t think he was quite ready to be told that my father was a saint (and still is!) who had two mothers-in-law, who both lived with him! But I think he got the message that we blend families pretty well… not that I can imagine either of my husband’s ex mothers-in-law embracing me as your’s has

Wow, that is amazing that everyone can come together and enjoy each other’s company. Well done!! In second marriages there are always adjustments to be made, what I think people forget about is that even first marriages have this, its just not usually discussed or figured out in the beginning. The key to success in my book is communication and those who have been around the block before know how important this is. Love the card she got you!! Hilarious!

Hi Wilma – the joke in our family is that we need an org chart to keep it all straight!

Hi Jaimie – thanks so much!

Hi Georgina – Yup! You got it right! And thank you – I felt stunning that day
