My Bro and his family

It was in February of last year that I found my half brother Jim Osborn. It's been so fun getting to know him and his family. Last night Roger and I drove up to Ogden to his oldest sons wedding reception. It was the first time for us to meet his kids. Jim was so cute. He saw us and he immediatley came out of the line and grabbed me and gave me a big hug. He then went up to his boys with his arm around me and he put our faces right next to each other and asked his boys "do we look alike?" He did the face comparison with about 3 or 4 other people. It was so cute. His boys had heard about me this past year and since they hadn't ever met me they called me the "phantom sister." So now they've met me and it's all real. They are anxious to meet my kids and get to know them. I wish my kids were as anxious as they are. But i'm hoping this summer we can go on a couple of camping trips with them. There names are Dane, Jesse and Sean. Dane is going to medical school, Jesse is in hotel management and Sean is going to the U majoring in engineering. We got to visit with them last night and that was fun. I also got to meet Jims other two half sisters. Ilene and Susan. They were very sweet to us and told us a few stories of when they were growing up and having Jim scare them with the claw stories.

I know my dad would be so happy that we have reunited and are having a relationship now. I just wish we lived closer so that we could get together more often.
