Laura suggested that after seeing a picture of the five older children as they were so many years ago, people would enjoy seeing them as they are now. So here you have it. In the back row you see Philip, Sarah, Michael, Rick, me, Kayla, and Laura holding Diederick. In the front row you see the children who were not yet born in the old photo: Rebecca, Lydia, Seth, and Debra. These four children were all born right here in the home Rick built almost 19 years ago. 🙂
Early this past summer our high school art teacher, Mr. Scott Conner, in his guise as professional photographer, took this picture of the family. That means, really, that I shouldn’t be copying this picture, but I hope it’s OK, since I’m kind of advertising for him this way, right?
