No Empty Chairs

Today is my parents 48th anniversary. This photo was taken over 30 years ago in our old house. My mom is pregnant with me in this. Das thinks I look just like my mom. My parents are wonderful and I am so thankful they had one more.(I am the baby of eight) Comments from siblings: Allison, "Awesome picture, I am loving the light fixture! But of course not only did the indian chick beat me up, she is also blocking my photo shoot." Mark, "This is classic! Check out the wallpaper. Thanks for sharing." Dianne, "Very funny Allison! I am of course the cuttest! I too, loved that kitchen. Why do you think I have cream cabinets and bright yellow paint, it brings me back to simpler times, a happy time on Viewmont Street, ghosts, peeping toms, basement floodings, food storage forts, playing in the rice and wheat, eating vienna sausages, the basement sink clogging up, playing barbies in the sewing room, doing dirty things with our barbies in the sewing room, spying on Bruce and Lynette, watching them eat in fron of us, and best of all, our Christmas parties! Best of times!" This picture is 30 years later and 33 grandchilren later. Just missing a few in this, including Das. Oldest to youngest.....The Adams(6 kids), Colligans(6 kids), Marcrofts(4 kids), Hansens(3 kids), VanWagenens(4 Kids), McBrides(4 kids), Weidners(only brother...4 kids....triplet boys), and the Jetties.:) Thanks Mom and Dad for all that you do for us! Love you!
