It has been a long time since we have posted on our blog, but here we go again as a result of Caleb's encouragement.












This first picture is of Kimberley's wedding. She married Chris on May 2.



Then on May 28, we had a family party. It was well attend, except that we missed Caleb and Johanna who were busy cooking in the heat of Falun with their unusually hot summer.




At the party, we got introduced to three new cousins and also wished Rachel well who is expecting her first child this fall.


On the left, is Zackery --- Chrishom and Chelsea's new adopted son. Zackery was born in Delaware.













The next picture is of Katelyn's new daughter. She is a real cutie. Her name is Isabel.



Notice that Katelyn's hair color has changed. Katelyn's husband had to stay back home in Arizona as he was in school.




The next new cousin to meet was Alexs, who is Amber's new son. Notice the way his poor mother plays with his hair.

As mentioned earlier, Rachel is expecting in September, however it looks like Chrishom might be too.

And now for some general pictures from the party. We met at Jill and Paul's house. Uncle John has been sick for several weeks now with severe pain. The doctors don't know what is causing it. At first, they thought it was something to do with his Colon and then his back.











Ian had fun!















and Helen couldn't get enough of her new grandchildren.














Part of the reason for the party was to have some baby showers for Zackery, Isabel and Rachel's little one. Amber had one just before Alex was born. We were lucky to have Rachel here from Seattle and Katelyn from Arizona, so we took advantage of the situation to celebrate.










Of course another highlight of the party was to get to meet Jerry's Jessie. She came late after her college class. She had already served camping with the Parry's as well as Ennice, so our pary seemed like normal.










I missed getting pictures of several that were there --- most of the Parry's, Kevin and Natascha, Blaine, Bob and Jamie, the Jacobs, etc. Charlie had a great time and stayed late, although I had to leave half way through with Blaine as I didn't feel very good due to my medicine that night.
