Family Highlights 2005

Four generations gathered in late April. Dad, son Ernie, granddaughter, Beth, and great-grandson Micah Anderson.

The first weekend of July, the hottest of the summer it seemed, Dad and I drove to Winnipeg, tovisit Ernie and Penny.

Dad and Ernie working together to build a two-seat glider swing for their back yard in Winnipeg.

The Henry and Frieda Kroeker clan, including newest member, Jena, who had just married Kevin. A lovely August wedding in Calgary!

Nieces' Visits in September and October

Jalise and her 14 month daughter, Elise, came to visit us for four days in September. We took her for walks using Dad's seldom-used walker.

Sharon has popped by for the occasional quick visit when home from Calgary. At Thanksgiving she even stayed over night a few days!

What a joy to see what a fine Christian woman she's grown to be!

Visiting/discovering relatives in Medicine Hat, in October. My own photos of the whole weekend did not turn out. (Thanks, Kathleen for sharing yours!)

There was also a 40th Anniversary in Lethbridge for Wayne and Hilda Kroeker, we attended, and a wonderful musical Jamming session after that at Val and Ken Sinclair's place!
