Our Home and Families

Our House

We live in a quite, residential neighborhood near the elementary school and our church. Our home has five bedrooms and a nice fenced - in - backyard. It also includes a living room, family room, and rec. room with lots of space for the children to play and enjoy other types of family fun. Our yard also includes a swing set, sandbox, soccer kick board, basketball hoop, and a vegetable garden. Our yard becomes a playground in any season - with snow forts in winter, mud bathes in spring, sprinklers to run threw and other water games in summer, and leaf piles to jump in during the fall. Indoors we have time to play with paint and play dough, bake cookies, watch a movie and share a bowl of popcorn, and sometimes just hang out as a family.  We enjoy many activites both inside and out.  

Ann Michelle's Family

I am the oldest of six children. Three sisters and twin brothers. I have always had a pretty good relationship with my family. My sisters and I have many shared interests. Whenever we get together, we always have lots of fun. I also enjoy talking with my brothers. My family enjoys games. Playing games together is a memory I have from early in my childhood. My family also spent many summer trips hiking and camping at a lake a couple of hours from our home. We also spent many hours at my grandfather's farm working and playing with each other and my cousins as well. We still enjoy getting together as often as distance and time will allow.

Delmer's Family (at his brother's wedding)

I am the second - to - youngest of seven children. Two brothers and four sisters. They were a fun family to grow up in - there was plenty of imagination and games played out - of - doors. One of my fondest memories was spending hours throwing a Frisbee with my brother (pictured above getting married). Family traditions were always fun and brought my family together especially during holidays. One non-holiday traditions is seeing movies together. Growing up we had the theatre to ourselves (my dad was a projectionist). During  pre-screenings, we made lots of comments throughout the movie. Now it is hard not to make funny comments even with a full house of people.
