Our niece and her husband (Leslie and Rob)

We enjoyed a lovely time at our family reunion in June. It was held at Bill's and Darlene's lovely home and was such a nice day. (Bill and Darlene are posted on down the line if you want to look for them!) This is their daughter Leslie and her husband Rob. Rob and Leslie celebrated their 2nd anniversary in May and are getting eager to move into a lovely home they are building. Rob and Leslie are a great couple. Thanks for letting me post you guys, Leslie. Love ya!

Our Great Niece From Russia!

With three of our grandchildren adopted from Ukraine, it was very exciting for us when Tim and Yvonne (Richard's niece and her husband) adopted their daughter, Emily, from Russia. I believe Emily was right at 4 years old when she was adopted, and now she is about to enter the 2nd grade. She is an avid softball player (her daddy is her coach!) and this is her picture from the season which just ended. Emily is very outgoing and is just the cutest little girl. I know she has enriched her grandparents John & Hazel, Larry and Genell, and Elaine immensely. We love her and wish we were able to see her more often so thank Yvonne for sending pics along to keep us in touch. We love you, Emily!!

Ashley, our Great Niece

This is my lovely GREAT niece, Ashley. She is Paul's and Karen's granddaughter and daughter of Bryan and Tricia. Ashely is 12-1/2 years old and will be in the 7th grade this fall. She is as pretty as her petite mom and as tall like her dad, so she got the best of both sets of genes. Isn't she a beautiful ballerina. Ashley has accepted Christ, and she is just as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. We love her lots! ~~Great Aunt Susan
