That's not a beautiful story...why do folks keep saying that? LOL! I hijacked Lawrence and coaxed him into moving for selfish reasons. I didn't want him to leave. :( Now, he and Portia might be a nice story were it not for the fact that the first thing he saw when they met was her booty. For a White man whose never looked twice at a Black woman he sure did scoop her up fast! We alway tease him about it. :)

We are a bit abnormal but it works out for everyone.

Oh well since you’ve put it that way… I didn’t know the back story, for selfish reasons you say? *smh* Well, all’s well that ends well I suppose.

LOL. A people hoarder? That's why her family's so big. You know that doesn't sound like a bad idea. My siblings have been doing a number on me. If your family gets on your nerves just create a new one. *maniacally rubbing hands together * I like, I like.

Soooooooo your house is an interracial vortex....LOL WIshed that I lived close to you.

Dang, Tracy! I love your family. Um, I think I could use a "key list" of all the players! You know, a pic of Greg, followed by a small bio, eg., Husband, Father, Son, Uncle, keeper of the family keys, fantastic dancer, great rapper..; then Eva, BC, Lawrence, Daniel, Portia, Shawn, Shawn's wife (?)...you know, like EVERYBODY, LOL! Also, how big are we talking is your house? I mean, didn't you say darn near EVERYONE is living there? I'm glad you love to be around lots of family and friends. Honestly, I don't know if I could handle it. I'm a widow and my mother lives with me with very few drop ins. It's pretty quiet here and I confess to liking it for the most part. We're the only family in Las Vegas with the rest in the bay area of CA (sister and her family) and Chicago (what's left and not passed on). There are times when I need family here (like when hubby died) but they all flew in from the bay area and I had my office family. Bottom line, I love when you write about your huge family. They all seem like great people! Carry on! LOL!

Tracy you know I will be printing this little blog to distribute to family, it seems one of the great-nieces (married into family) thinks we are abnormal. I was raised with 22 siblings, (my mother hoarded 12 other kids 'cause her 10 wasn't enough) I speak with at least 10 members each day and for such a large family we are very close.

Anywho, one of the kids made shirts for the reunion naming it the "MULTI-MUTT 2010" reunion which sort of pissed off the crustless set so next month should be a hoot.

Btw I have confirmed only 49 people will be attending when it should be 389 but hey I warned them I do NOT like emails to send me a text or twitter.

There are shirts in the making but in their defense they did confirm to the family email box but someone thought they would get even by putting me in charge of accommodations. Now I really did not mind but reading hundreds or in this case 3258 emails is not my thing so only the people that sent me a text or message via twitter has some where to lay their heads or flights.

My mother took in some of my father's ex-wife sister kids along with one of his relative kids when their parents forgot where they lived. I think her selfless actions bonded these other kids into our family, the younger kids in our family did not know they were not her kids since she always called us her children. Even when she passed they were included in her will, which pissed off some of the crustless set, but only what was not entailed.

Olga, we love you to girlie! It's brand of crazy that only a few can stomach. And I promise not to blow your cover....I'll leave that to Greg, lol! I'm still dying over the conversation you two had going. Every now and then I'll bring it up..."Hey, you know you hurt Olga's feelings, right?" He doesn't fall for it anymore, though. *shrugs*

He got Lydia's good the night of Eva's orientation. He was checking the site from his iPhone and saw Lydia one word comment. He turns to me and says, "Does Lydia speak her own language? She’s just making up words."

This is why we don't allow you three to play together....you're too much alike.

Thanks Robyn. I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself. Great to have you with us. :)
