A Grand-Boy!!

 Opa and Oma welcome their first grand-boy! Elijah John was born this morning to Stevin and Katrina, and is baby brother to Naomi, Petra and Rachel. Oh, how precious!

"F" is for Family, Friends, Flowers, Food, Fun and Forty!!

August 7, 1971: A new beginning -

August 6, 2011: Forty years later, the yard and gardens were ready to show off -

 The children arrived to pull their plans together, and our youngest son surprised us with his arrival!! Yes, I cried.

 The tables were laden with food and yummy desserts -

Other family members and friends came to join the celebration -

Children added their fun and frolic -

and lastly - the wedding party (sans the flower girl) -

Really, we haven't changed - much....?

We had a lovely evening with family and friends; the weather stayed warm and dry; and the BBQ with salads and cupcakes was delicious!

Thankyou to our very special children who pulled this all together, and thankyou to everyone who added their special presence to our special day. Love you all!
