so glad to hear you have contact and I agree with Robin they may not act as you would like and your going to at some point have to answer some pretty tough questions but let it be what it is for now, a chance to spend some time with your kids... I'm guessing that to be asked in for a family photo this must have been a discussion that has already happened with the children and they agreed to. GL and have fun!

That is so great! I am sure that if they want you in the family photo the kids will be excited. From what you have said they are great parents which means they have probably spoken to the kids about it and unless the kids were OK with it, you would not have gotten the call.

enjoy yourself and enjoy the wonderful hugs and loves to come.
