25 years of wedded bliss!!!

Rachel & Jeff celebrated 25 years of marriage this year, and they had a beautiful ceremony to renew their vows on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008. It was really nice and even brought a tear or two to my eyes! Then afterwards, their kids put on a really nice party for them - enjoyed by all!



As their son presented them, "An OLDER version, of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff McCallus!"

Stacey and Justin

And once again, the happy couple!

I liked this picture of the three sisters - not too often do we pose together - (Tara's idea!)

A week on the lake....

We spent a wonderful week on Lake Titus this past week at "our" rented camp. I was SO privileged to have Tara and baby Emily up here for a WHOLE week, and Don & Wendy were so gracious as to share the week with us, as well as with Aunt Marilyn Rudolph! WE had some rainy days, but it was OKAY - we also had a few beautiful days and were able to swim and boat and catch a little bit of sunshine. Then again, some days we just stayed in our PJ's most of the day and ate warm cookies fresh from the oven, that Wendy so happily baked for us almost every day! It was a great week. As you can see, the lake was not the focus for many pictures, we seem to have focused alot on one sweet little lady!!!

And...by the way....next year I WILL beat one of you at Super Scrabble, Don or Aunt Marilyn!!

I'm not sure what scared these two, but look at those faces!!!

And of course, me...slaving in the kitchen! (Just kidding, Don & Wendy did more of the cooking than I did - it was GREAT!)

Grandma got to help give Emily her bath at the Lake - what fun!
