You are missed!

I love this pic. Can you tell that Truman gets lots of attention from his sisters?

When you look up the word 'Family' in the dictionary, a picture of the Peden family should be beside it. I count it an honor and a high privilege to be a part of this great family for almost 24 years, and am thrilled that my children have Peden blood flowing in their veins. It all started around 73 years ago when Opal McKinney and Eddie Peden married. They later had 5 children, 1 son and 4 daughters. This is the closest family I've ever been around. In the 24 years that I've known them, I've never seen or heard any backbiting, quarrels, jealousy, or anything bad about each other come out of their mouths. Although Ma-Ma and Pa-Pa Peden are both gone, and alot of the grandchildren are scattered, these 5 children put forth much effort to be a part of each others lives. They meet for each others birthdays throughout the year, have get togethers during the holidays, and sometimes, just because! They stick together like glue. It's very refreshing just to be in their presence. In Psalms, it mentions a goodly heritage. Dear Peden children and grandchildren, you are blessed with a goodly heritage!
