Okay, so everyone knew this was coming eventually... now I'll introduce you
to our present crop of eight grandkids. The only problem with our grandkids is
that they are growing up much too fast, but at least we get to see that happen
since they all live within driving distance of us.
Tanner, Kelsey, Faith, Whitney, Kasey, and Brendan
Let's begin with our oldest two granddaughters Faith (Kathy's) born at 11:50
p.m. on Feb 25 and Whitney (Laura & Doug) born the next morning about 9:00 a.m.
That's pretty close for children from two mothers.

and then Hannah arrived at David and Lynn's. Unfortunately after the divorce we
have never seen Hannah again.
She and her mother moved from the immediate area and apparently want nothing to
do with us. That's sad, but I
will leave Hannah's pictures here because she is still our granddaughter.
