Day 3

The last day of our reunion was spent here at our home. Kim got everything ready for family pictures, baby blessing and a dinner. Whew! Lots of work, but everything worked out. So, pictures are major! They are just great to have though. I look at these pictures and can remember the grumbling, murmuring, the jokes and jabs (especially from the rocks), but oh, what good times. Here is the best of my best
The boys--handsome little guys!

Our cute girlsReed and Allyson familyTom and Kristy familyChristie and Darren familyTrav & Allison family
Jer and Liz familyJohn & Laura family  Kim was so busy taking everyone else's, she didn't have time to get their own family. I am waiting for her to send one to me so I will be complete here. The ones she took of everyone are better than the ones I took, but it is fun to see different ones sometimes.
After a beautiful baby blessing given by Daniel, and a yummy dinner, we had the talent show. Here are some highlights

(Sorry I am missing pictures of some of the talents and hope that if any of you have some, you will send them on and I will do a postscript to this post. ) So, our reunion now is just a great memory. Thanks to all for the meals, sacrifice of time and means and the willingness to actively participate and for the love you all show to each other and each other's children. What great role models they all have. After all, it takes a village to raise a child!
