Family

We've been working on our family tree recently at a cool site called Geni. Christina started with our immediate family on there, and now we're up to 349 relatives! What I especially love about the project and website is it's so collaborative - everyone can work on adding who and what they know, and dividing the work among so many people makes it easy, and fun. Seeing the relatives pile up is amazing!

It's really awesome to see so many people that I'm related to! I love being part of a big family and feel super lucky that we are all close. Looking at the massive family tree we have going on, there is something inspiring about seeing all those who came before us, and have left their mark on the family still today - through their brave choices to uproot their families to a new country, their hard work to provide for their children, even their goofy exploits that are part of the family legends!

I've felt like I'm really starting my own little family now with my hubby and new little baby, and am so glad to be creating that on the shoulders of the larger families we have. Family is a wonderful reminder of how we're all connected and never going through anything alone. :)

I love that much of what we do through Blustery Day Design is honoring and celebrating ties between people who love each other. Yay for families!!
