Introducing....

Here's the dealllllllll.
It all started with an italian boy, son of two immigrants, and a girl the youngest of five children who grew up on a farm. Yes, a farm. I forgot to tell you this was a good six decades ago. Maybe a little less. The two met and fell madly, and deeply in love. Got married, blah blah blah, and ended up with five kids. Jennifer, Brian, John, Colleen and Timmy. The Gino kids. The All-American dad coached the sports teams. Stay at home mom. Until the nervous breakdown. That shook things up a bit. But anyway, the Gino kids.They stumbled their ways through the seventies and eighties (and the sixties somewhat in Jen and Bri's case) Oh don't get me wrong their was drama then. drug phases (in some cases they never ended ha), unwed pregnancy, nonwedded cohabitation, divorce. each a different kid in that case ;The mid eighties killed their parent's ha. Then the first grandkid was born, starting a whole new era of drama. Chris (named for his grandfather) was born to John and Rica.
That's where we come in! Meet Avery and Bella! We are this grandchild generation. Avery, eldest child of Colleen and her husband Walker. And Bella, youngest child of Tim.
Living the past sixteen years in this family, we've seen it all. And some shit has gone down that you would NOT believe (pardon my french)
Some of it sitcom worthy.
Some of it seemingly stolen from a soap opera.
Other things, you wouldn't even see on reality tv.
So one day, us cousins, close as sisters, decided that these little stories would make for good entertainment.
So join us as we blog past stories that have been passed down or witnessed.
And current gossip that is going down in the Gino Family.
Growing up in such a dysfunctional family leads to ties to dysfunctional friend's right? of couse. So we may throw in current things going on in our lives with friends as well.

As a final word, ever one thinks their family is crazy. That or they wish it was. Well what's better than reading about one? Give us a chance ;]
