Unfortunately there were 2
members of our family that couldn't make it on vacation this year with us.
Michael, our oldest is stationed
in California in the Marines.
James, our second oldest is now a
working person. While we were away on vacation James was kind enough to
house sit, and take care of our animals for us. He also cracked up when I
informed him how I was including him and his brother on the vacation site on
their very own page, Missing Members!
Even though Michael and James
couldn't be with us in body, they were with us in spirit. So I have included
some pictures of them here as well. Somehow it just didn't seem like a
family site without them.
