A DAY IN THE LIFE OF NIBBLER: Okay, so I visited my Grandparents (on my dad's side) today and we looked through some old family photos. And I mean OLD; some of these pictures were of my great great grandparents!
Turns out my grandma's family ir 100% French and a very big one at that. She had 3 sisters and 2 brothers; that's 6 kids and that's only her imidiate family. Every one is really tall too. Like one of my great uncles is 6'7", the other was 6'6", my great aunts are 6'3", 6'5", and 6'1". My grandma was the odd one out at 5'5" or something. Her mother had cancer.
My grandpa's family is German and English. Turns out they aren't Swiss, it's just that the German half was living in Switzerland, but they're still all of German decent. That's his dad's side. His mom's side is from England and I didn't learn much about them. His family is all really tall too, some where in the 6' range, and they're a military family. I found the letter that the Navy sent his mom when he joined and was deployed for the first time; it was in really good condition too! And then I found some pictures of him receiving a metal from a govoner general short of guy, or at least I think that's what my grandma said.
There were lots of pictures of my dad and uncles, too. Seems like my dad had the same hairstyle his entire life. lol. And it was really weird seeing pictures of my uncle David with a full head of hair; it really didn't suit him well... There weren't many pictures of my uncle Todd, though, and he's the oldest child so it was sort of weird. And then there were a buttload of pictures of me and my cousin Matthew when we were babies, oh, and my cousin Andrew as well.
Sooo, yeah. We went swimming down by the river, too.
