45 years


Who are these kids from 45 years ago?

We've gone from newlyweds to oldyweds,


No kids to 4 kids to empty nesters and now our family has grown with two sons-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and another daughter-in-law in three months. We are grandparents to two grandsons and a granddaughter. What a gift for this stage in our lives.


We started out with one car, a Volkswagen Rabbit, to two cars with Todd driving a company car, to the family mini-van, next a Suburban, and then teenagers gave us a parking lot driveway full of cars. We are now back to two own cars.


Late nights because we were young to late nights because we were parents (had four teenagers for a couple years) to now, "what's a late night?"


From our first home - a $200 a month apartment, to the first house we bought, and now six houses later, our last home - a one story perfect for the two of us.


And there's lots, lots, LOTS more!


Arm-in-arm, we're still walking through life, just like those twenty-somethings on their first steps down the aisle.
