Yount Reunion Pt. 1

I'm still amazed at the love of this family for family. Over 60 people, 26 of them under the age of 6, showing up to spend a quality two days together...investing part of themselves in the continuation of a heritage that is beyond what any of us can describe.
This kind of thing doesn't happen by accident. When a multitude of small children and large appetites are involved, dedication and hard work are mandatory. Hours on the road, money spent for lodging, cooking, baking, cleaning, and organizing...it's all part of it.
What's it worth? Ask Jeremy Yount, who along with his wife and two children under the age of three, found out only Christmas Eve that his work schedule would permit them to travel from Greenville, SC to Cincinnati for the celebration. They jumped out of bed this morning, packed the kids up, and were here by early evening. I'd say it's pretty important to them!
Here are some pics from our day...




























































"The love of family is life's greatest blessing."
