ok, this is the whole crew, my parents and all our kids are with us here



this is an old one, but it didn't seem that long ago



here we came together to bring in the millenium



This is on one of my Birthdays in August, Jeff and Amy tried out being blonde! Chris was in the city with his grandparents though, so he's not in this one.



the most recent family pic, together to celebrate Guy's 50th birthday last summer. We're growing by leaps and bounds, with another expected this July



we'll start with the baby, this is one of my favoites of her...the house in the background is the house my dad grew up in, a traditional Romanian house



here she is learning to sail our friend's boat



this was taken on one of our many days we went exploring

This is of the first trail ride Alissa went on. The horse is a gorgeous Morgan called grumpy, but he's really a sweetheart!



Here she is coming back in full gallop. The other rider is Doug and he's on tawny.



She's sitting on another of Doug's horses here, dusty.



my second youngest, she and her dad made this chair for me while I was in mexico one winter



as you can see, we all love being on the lake



Here she is with her 18th birthday present



This is Amy and Anthony, when she was visiting him in Holland this fall. I'll have a link to all her Holland pictures as soon as she's done putting them on her page

Our friend from France, Delphine, came back for a visit last summer. This is at the 100th anniversary of Romanian settlers celebration we took her to.

Here is Taylor in the most styling party hat at her Brother's birthday party



Our newest little sweetie, Griffin. Born the middle of this January



He's been smiling up a storm for months now, and even lets out some pretty good giggles



Griffin has been growing by leaps and bounds. This is the two of us at our BC place this past fall, just a couple of months before he turned 2. Now he's expecting a new little brother in July!



this is Alissa's first baby and Bandit's best friend, Lacey. She's almost a year old now and cute as a button and loves babies. Here she's having a chat with Summer



This is Izzy, a 1 year old guinea pig. Amy adopted him, but he is a character we've all come to enjoy. Izzy passed away this year, we miss the little fellow.



This is Mindy, who was a big part of our lives for 14 1/2 years. She passed away on October 7, 2000, on Thanksgiving weekend, after fighting a courageous battle with diabetis for 4 years, and other health problems. Even on her last day, she enjoyed the sunshine, barked at a strange dog, and enjoyed the pats of passing children. We all miss her so much, she was quite the little companion, and shared a wonderful example on how to fight for the enjoyment in life.



the most recent member of our family. My son Chris and his friend Lawrence, adopted him because both of them missed their dogs so much. He's cute as a button, growing at an alarming rate, and I warned em....like raising a child in fast forward!



this guy entered our family, this winter and very quickly wormed his way into our hearts. We call him the giant walking smile. Our friend Rick gave him to us just a year or so before he passed away. We're truly blessed for having both of them in our lives



We lost our big buddy bandit the summer of 2005. We missed him terribly, but we're helped along by our newest babies. We adopted Jake and Ginger from the SPCA when they were 8 weeks old. Here they are on their first birthday. Hard to tell they're brother and sister huh?
