An Albertson get together

Herb and Jenny Albertson (our oldest nephew) and family came for a little visit June 11-13. It rained the whole time they were here, so the kids played a lot of indoor games. We also had Esther and Dan Mendez (Rowen's sister) and family here for a meal and visit on June 11 evening. This included their oldest daughter, Christy, (husband Manoj, and daughter, Anjali), and Maria, Hadassah, Sarah, and Kwani. Only Stepheni was missing from the Mendez family.
On Sunday, the Kaus family were also here for church and Sunday dinner. We had a great weekend of family and fellowship!

Operation Lifesaver Train Ride 6-11-10

A picture from the past!

Fifteen years ago, we went on the Operation Lifesaver train ride with our older children and Grandma and Grandpa Albertson. I was expecting Jason, and Beth was just 1 1/2. Jeffrey can barely remember it. In the picture below, Jeffrey, Grandma Albertson, Grandpa Albertson, Beth and I enjoy the train ride. Beth actually had a good nap...

Randy told me he told Quil a story about the train ride just last week! In the picture below, Randy and Tim are on the right second seat of the train.
After all these years, we found out the train ride was available again just in time for Beth's driver's training about the subject of train safety! From the left: Janet, Emily, Beth, Jeffrey, and Jason

Here the train guys are teaching us about train safety.


Here I am with our four large, younger children. BTW, according to this picture, I am still taller than Emily!
