Family Additions

Have any of you who happen to be reading this ever tried to assemble all your family members for a portrait? To justify my actions, the following is important to know: It has been at least 15 years since a picture was made of our entire family. During that period of time I have made several attempts to get them all together at the same time, but none of these efforts has worked. Some are in Iowa, some in Colorado, some in Texas, and at times some are in France, England, South Africa, the Netherlands, Russia....so now you know of my frustration.

But I have good news! One of our granddaughters, Katy Wallis, was married on January 8 in Colorado Springs, and because our entire family was present for that occasion, several photos of our group were taken by a professional photographer. I was ecstatic! Now I am anticipating seeing all those "proofs" in a visit next week, and I look forward to choosing one for a large portrait for our house. I want to personally thank the newest addition to our family, Tim Byrne, for making this possible! It is great for us to have a new grandson-in-law, and we are glad it is you!
