Chad's video of the swing at Methodist Hill. He's comment is "That's what a 40-something year old gets for trying to keep up with his teenage kids." Priceless!!!

I love family reunions. Who knows us better or loves us more than our families? However, when families are spread throughout the country, like ours are, you don't get to see them quite as often as you'd like and it is simply amazing to me how much time can go by between visits. We figured out that it had been 4 1/2 years since we had been home to see my mother and father (though they have been to see us) and 1 1/2 years since we went to visit Chad's family. This summer we took a 3 week vacation and were blessed to attend two family reunions in Idaho - both with my father's side of the family and Chad's mother's side of the family and see many relatives on my mother's side. It is sad that I was seeing my niece for the first time in 20 years and meeting my 13-year old great niece for the first time ever. But even though we have let FAR too much time pass between visits home, we definately took the opportunity to celebrate while we were there. Thanks to the Drinkwine and Heath families for being wonderful people. While we may not make it home often, you are in our thoughts and prayers always. I promise we won't wait so long next time!

| Some of the Drinkwine clan. So sad that not everyone was able to make it! I guess when there are 9 kids, 23 grandkids, and I don't even know how many GREAT-gandkids, it is hard to get everyone in the same place at once! |
