a trip back in time

yup, that's what i'm calling our trip yesterday out to oconee county. we went and visited an extremely old house built in the 1700s that belonged to one of kevin's ancestors - william daniell. i actually find all this to be really cool because i don't know much about my family history and well, we know quite a lot in regards to kevin's ancestors. who they were, where they came from and what they did. pretty neat, uh? i only hope our girls will one day appreciate this knowledge knowing exactly who "their people" were. it gives you ties to something, which i don't feel like i have. what a gift!

i brought my camera and made some pictures of the house which according to kev's uncle has under gone so major renovations. william daniell who lived in the house died when he was 97 years old. he married twice. his first wife bore him 13 kids and his second wife bore him 11 kids. talk about a house full of children, i can't imagine. it makes the duggar clan seem small in comparison.
