My best weekend ever!

Wanna know why? My brother Daniel and his wife Mandy became my friends on Facebook. Why I hear you ask is that such a big deal? Because my dear friends I have never met my brothers Daniel or Rhys. I only learnt of their existence in 2003 after making contact with my father George whom I hadn't seen since I was about 2.

Here is Daniel on his wedding day with Mandy, Alex and Sam. Mandy, you may have noticed I've stolen a few photos LOL.

And heres Rhys, don't they both look dashing in their wedding finery? He has brown eyes like mine.

 This is me, (hint I'm the very cute baby in the middle) with my parents George and Patrica Palmer.

Here are the photos George sent me back in 2003.

These were the only photos I had of my "other" family, so it was really cool and a little sad to be able to look through all of Mandy and Daniels photos. (Man I thought I took lots of photos, I've got nothing on Mandy! LOL). I have felt really weird all weekend, happy because I never thought i would get to know Daniel and Rhys, but really really sad that I didn't already know them and their families. More than one tear has been shed this weekend.

 Here are some more Palmers, George's brother and sister and spouses. And where there are Aunties and Uncles there will be cousins...

So begins the journery of learning about my "original" family
