Brandon and Emily's Engagement Announcement

This is Brandon and Emily's engagement photo. Their wedding is planned for April 18th in Hermiston, Oregon. Congratulations!

Since November....

Brandon and Emily came for a visit in January and we enjoyed spending time with them.

Unveiling "THE PRECIOUS"
Our 1972 TV was now requiring a "boot-up sequence" when you turned it on...not to mention that whole DTV thing. Rich liked the idea of going "off the grid."
Ryan builds off "quaint" for a big score against Grandma Donna. (December 2008.)

Grandma Donna visited for Thanksgiving and she and the kids played LOTS of board games, including this 4 hour game of Monopoly. I'm pretty sure that she never played a 4 hour board game with her own kids -- I guess that's what being a grandma is all about!
