At the end of the reunion each person will have a special keepsake to take home with them. Each family should make or purchase 80 beads to hand out to each family member at the reunion. (The photo above shows some examples that may help inspire you.)

Our Camping Trip





We went camping at Jubilee Lake and had a blast camping, hiking, boating, spending time together. We enjoyed some beautiful views, and had a wonderful time.

OH BOY!!

Melissa and Bryan are so excited to
announce "we are having a baby boy~!
The due date is November 15, 2007.
We are so thrilled. The doctor
said that he is right on track and that
everything looks great! It was so amazing
to see the ultrasound. It has made this
whole experience seem real."
