The entire family gathered to celebrate Ray's assignment to the UK for the next three years.
It is the first time in seventeen years that everyone has been able to come to a family get together. In 2001 the youngest grandson was only a few months old. Kyle will be 17 this year.
Back then there were eighteen of us. Now there are twenty-three.
