A Family Photo Album

A classic fall day in Ohio. We were having the perpetual party at Grandma's house, the ruckus that happens every time I am home (since I don't get there that much). After a while, my brother Greg and I decided to take all the kids to Durling Park, about a block away. I grew up in this park, had my first smoke, and battled hoards of imaginary foes. Somehow it seems smaller now. It is a little tougher to find crawdads in the creek now, but worth the effort as long as my sisters-in-law aren't around to complain about the kids' muddy clothes.
The most elegant tree in the world in any season. In Brian and Sara's back yard. He had to plan the addition to the house so he didn't disturb it.
Zachary Leo and Emily Steinkerchner, Greg and Diane's two youngest kids, at my step-brother Tim Dailey's wedding to Melenie Oliver. I couldn't be at the wedding, I think I was in Africa. But cute as the dickens, aren't they?
Here is Adam Steinkerchner and his more staid sister Megan. We have just come back from playing in Lake Erie when we weren't supposed to be, it being a cold day. But the rocks and the waves were too much to resist, and his uncle being a pushover let them all go in. When asked how he liked it, he literally bounced off the walls. Aren't you glad uncles come to visit?
Here is a picture of Greg and Diane's family playing in the leaves last fall. It doesn't get any netter than this!
A typical spring sunrise out of my window in River Forest Illinois. Not spectacular, but its quiet beauty always opens my day right.
Here is a photo from one fourth of July at the lake (Erie). The neighbor came over to Brian and Sara's and helped the kids to build the caboose. They all went to Wal-Mart and bought baloons, crepe paper, candy and everything one needs for a great parade. This is the trial run with Jon on the wagon and his cousin Mark driving the tractor. Megan and Adam are in the caboose, ready to wave and throw out candy. The larger image is very large, but worth every pixel. Print it!
