…and then decided to pump out nine children…
…and those children made a bunch more children…
…and those children made even more children…
…and those children are way too good looking, so they are probably gonna make a few more children of their own some day…
…and then the Becks will rule the world.
This summer over a hundred of my aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, etc all got together for a reunion. It is something that we have been doing every five years for as long as I can remember.
To date, there are about 185 of us total (alive)- This starts from my dad’s eight siblings and extends through their respective families. Apparently we’re good breeders.
We all tend to like each other too- which is pretty amazing. I don’t know of a lot of families out there who have no history of big feuds and who just enjoy each others company. I am so thankful to be a part of such a group and that my children will be a part of a family whose greatest legacy is our choice to love one another and to highly value our family.
At our last family reunion we had a baby dedication. There were two babies that got dedicated that time- five years later we had 12. You thought I was kidding about that world domination thing, but we are well on our way!
