Memorial Day 2008

The hammock was one of the highlights this year.
My cousin Eric. Uncle Bob. My cousin Jen (married to Eric) holding Serena. Uncle Dan with Serena.
I like this picture. It looks like Serena's going to eat all that yummy holiday food! Another hit was the sprinkler. It was a really nice day though-for once it wasn't too hot or humid. Three cousins-Addy, her sister Nora, and Connor Connor and Nora were fascinated by Bob's outdoor train. Frankly, I am too! Mike having fun with the camera.

News Flash!

Just in... It has been reported that on Sunday May 25th, on her five month birthday, Serena Noelle Brandt rolled over for the first time. There were no witnesses on the scene, but her mother reported that when she went to get her out of bed, she was on her back instead of her belly. More converage and photos later.

15 year class reunion

What! That's right, I am that old. But I don't mind, I like the era that I am in, and I enjoyed my reunion. There were a lot of old friends missing, but it was an intimate group to socialize with. We only had 140 in our graduating class, so you can't expect much to begin with! There were about 30 of us classmates there with our families. Mike and I topped the entire crowd with three kids. Go figure, the Mormon family! I included the pictures I got, but I feel bad I didn't get everyone. I didn't even get pics of the girls that organized the whole thing. Sorry girls! The reunion was at John Rudy park which has turned into a great park. The kids loved it (including Daddy). The weather was beautiful again too. Ryan Charleston Lauren Allie Who are they? And where is that third kid? Amy Guffy Judd Chapman, Scott Gierasch Old pals-Ashley and Paige Amber, Georgia and Hughie Heather Dostle and Jared Bean Abby Stauffer "the mom," for Hughie, and the back of Georgia Rogers and Jillian Stauffer. Scott Gierasch, Tiff Malinky, Greg Smith in the backround to the left. Just about everyone looks similar to what we looked like in high school (updated!), but we've all matured and grown into our age. Our lives revolve around our kids, and everyone seemed very genuine. It was fun to hear how everyone has evolved since high school.
