A Walk Down Memory Lane 14

Today on our Walk Down Memory Lane I want to introduce you to  our families.

This first picture is Jake's family.

At the top are two pictures of Jake's Dad and Step Mom.

The right hand picture also show two Grandchildren.

The little fellow is our so ,Steve.

On the left,Steve on Jake's Grandpa Friesen's lap.

Center is a family wedding day.

Steve was the ring bearer for Uncle Dan(on the left).

The next picture,a wedding shower for me.

Mom Hiebert and Mom Janzen beside me.

The avid hunters are Jake's two brothers.

And finally a picture showing Jake's Aunts and Uncles.
Unfortunately I do not have a picture of Jake's birth mother.
She died when he was a teenager,and later Dad married the mother in the pictures.

Both of Jake's parents have gone on to wait for us in Heaven,as have several of the Aunties and Uncles.

The above picture is my family,the Janzen's.

On the right are my parents and little Stevie.

To their left is a photo of yours truly.

In the upper left is my Dad,he was an avid John Deere fan.

Center is Dad and two of his sisters.

All three of these loved ones have joined Mom in heaven.

Bottom left is a family trip to Texas,this being in Houston at the Space Center.

Bottom right,my Dad  with my Sister-in-law Hilda,my sister Becky and me.

Dad was already a sick man at this time.

This series is of Jake and Me as we start our life together.

Starting at the top left,the first four pictures were taken on our honeymoon to Banff and Jasper.

The middle picture speaks for itself.

This is the first day at home with our bundle of joy,Steve.

Bottom left show the family in Banff on yet another vacation.

Center is a birthday party,for ,guess who.

And finally a family portrait of Jake,Ruth and Steve.

I end today by showing you a four generation picture.

Grandmother Hiebert,Dad,Abe Hiebert,Jake and Baby Steve.

One of the reasons I show this is to show how the slide scans can be improved.

The top picture is original,then some improvements using Picasa,

and finally more improvements using Photoshop Elements 5.

Next week we will be back to birds and scenery.

As the years add up,God's faithfulness keeps multiplying.
