Lorraine's Mom lives out of state but we see them VERY often. "Meme and Pepe" (Lorraine's Mom and Step Dad) do not like to be away from their grand children for very long so they are always making the 3 hour drive down to see us all. Usually every three weeks (needless to say, they are retired). We all go up to visit Meme and Pepe up in Massachusetts a few times a year. We love the smell of nature, the fire in the fireplace and of course, Meme's home cooking and we also love swimming in the Lake.  We affectionately call it "Club Meme".

Lorraine's Dad just recently moved back to Long Island after spending 10 years down in North Carolina.  We all welcomed him back with open arms. He is not so sure about coming back to the New York Winters but he will put up with it since he gets to see his kids and grand kids a lot more often now. 

Lorraine has one brother who has been married for 20 Years and he has three daughters (10, 15, 17). We are extremely close to his family. Lorraine and her brother work for the same company (and STILL love each other if you can imagine that :) 

Along with her immediate family, Lorraine has a large extended family of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and of course her cousin's children (which Gracie loves playing with).
