Explain yourself!

"Morgen" Is a german greeting that means "Good Morning."  I took two years of German in school and my husband Tyler took about seven years.  (He was all but fluent in German when he was called on his mission to South Korea.)  We don't speak the language at home, cause I don't know enough, and he's garbled it all up with the Korean he learned, so when he tries to speak german, it comes out in Korean word order and conjugations.  
     I have always liked the similarity between the german greeting, and our last name, Morgan.  Truly, the "o" in morgen should have an umlaut above it, kind of like a sideways colon (:), but I don't know how to make my keyboard do that. 

So, This is a picture of the entire Morgan Family, meaning Ty's parents and all their kids and grand kids.  It was taken at our baby Lilian Eilonwy's blessing day party.  It's hard to get that many people to all look good at the same time.  Sorry Brandon.  

I'm  in the middle back with the tiny baby, Lily.  I'll name everyone for good measure.  

Back row:  Tom, T.R. (on his tiptoes!), Amy with Sara, Marie with Lilian, Kurt (folding his arms the whole time!) Tyler, Brandon, (on his toes, with his eyes closed) Charley, Lori, and Anota. (great smile, Mom!)  
Middle row:  Joey, Tommy (what a 'tude!), Brynne (I have no explanation for this face), Lizzy, and Alicia.  
Front row:   Anna Belle, Rachel & Dorian, Halle, and Zoe.

We love our family!!

It can't possibly be this easy, can it?

So After long consideration and on-going perusal of others' blogs, I have finally decided to put our family crazy-ness out there for all to see.  It seems like an easy, no-pressure way to let others catch up on your life, or at least what you're willing to share about your life.  Our life.  Looks easy.  I'm sure the hardest part is just keeping it current.  I hope I can find the time!
