Indiana Trip

Just last night we got back from a trip to Indiana. We were there so that we could be at my grandparents' retirement party. All four of their children were there, and most of the grandchildren. It was a lot of fun!

This is the whole family minus my dad, my uncle David's wife, and her two sons.
My grandparents were given a gift from Shultz-Lewis, the children's home they've been working for for 20 years. They were houseparents, and my grandpa was the science teacher. My grandma also trained houseparents.
This one is too funny just because no one is doing what they're supposed to!
Here's one of me and my siblings, Karl and Sarah. I love this picture. That's just about the best smile we could get out of Karl.
Alrighty, here's a picture of us with our grandparents. : )

All of the grandkids. (Sarah looks SO pretty!!)


This is beautiful Judy with her handsome brothers Jed and Jeff. I was so glad to visit with them for a while. And I was especially happy to talk to Jed about highways. This kid knows every one that exists!!! He must like to study maps. :) (My mom is their first cousin, so that makes them my second cousins??) This is my favorite picture from the whole trip. We knew that my mom looks like her aunt Patty. But I don't think anyone realized just how much they look alike!! Another set of twins for you. This is me with my cousin Emily. People kept getting us confused.

Wow! I love those pix! I really liked the one of you three on the patio. Who took that one? And, when did you get a pic of me and the boys? Just out of curiosity. (I have memory problems, or so I'm told...that or I just act blond. One of the two:-)

I believe my mom took the patio picture. :) I remember taking the picture of you and your brothers, but I'm not sure exactly when. It's funny that you don't remember!! Hmmm...blonde or memory problems? Or a mix of both?? ;)

Haha, "Kookith Judith". That's cute.
