Xmas '08 - Roundin' up the Reindeer

Oma and Pops would like to wish you and yours as much love and joy as we have with our darling grandchildren!

As we celebrate His birth this Christmas, we wish you all the joys that are found in Christ alone!

P.S. I'm sorry that this postcard doesn't show up any clearer. Hope you can tell that the picture in the middle is of Beau as Rudolph. Thomas and his girlfriend, Jordan tried to coral him while the four girls rounded up the other eight reindeer in Colorado Springs (Erika and Schelijn have five of them: G, D, JG, C and E) and in Greenville (Danielle and Nancy have three of them for now: O, G and R). Feel free to go to the kids' own blogspots for more pictures and stories - I believe the links are somewhere on this site!

Two perspectives on the Trip to Canada, eh?

Olice and Georgia both had to put their two cents worth in after traveling to and from Canada last weekend. It was quite a memorable trip and we want to thank Becky and Mitch (Robinson) for giving us an excuse to have a Schepers' reunion party. It was a lovely wedding and we're all so happy for you both! Enjoy your honeymoon and I bet there'll be lots of good pictures floating around the web when you get back!! Here are just a couple of links to help you relive those precious memories..

Schelyn posted some great pics on her Facebook account - it's worth signing up with FB just to see them! But there may be some on her and Danielle's blogspots as well. Hope you know how to get there! - M

Thomas' surprise visit to Greenville

As some of you may know, Thomas has taken a job for the summer in Washington State. Near Seattle actually. We were thinking that, unless we went to the beach to see him, we wouldn't have gotten to see him until August. However, he surprised us all and changed his beach flight ticket so that he could see us for a weekend (and to surprise Jordan, too). We were all delighted but a little sad that Nancy and Danielle were not in town with their 3 babies (did you already see the picture of all of them out in Colorado?) Anyway, Ken and I did get to see them for a day and a night at the beach - before heading back for GM & GD's 65th wedding anniversary party! I might be able to blog some of those pictures later but for now: look on facebook - I'll be happy to be your 'Friend' so you can see more beach pics, too!



Yes, this is what you think it is - a baby shark caught by one of Jordan's cousins, Caleb. Are you thinking the same thing that I am? Where is the Mamma while this kid is playing with her baby?
