Grandma's Ninetieth Birthday

We went to Indiana to help Grandma McEowen celebrate her 90th birthday on Saturday 31 May. I think she had a good time - she was sure glad to see everybody and really enjoyed the gathering. We solicited cards from LOTS of her friends and family around the nation and she got a huge stack of them. The rest of us enjoyed getting together, too, and the little kids all had a great time playing with their second cousins.

Here are Aidan, Esme, Annah and Caeden taking the path from the driveway to the barn.


They look like they're up to no good, but they were just hanging out in the barnlot - Clayton, Caeden, Annah and Aidan.


Aidan and Annah - the "Y2K Kids":


Grandma with her children - Wanda, Juanita, Dave, Marcia, Roger.


I'm showing Grandma the page in the Glander Family History where I dedicate it in her honor.

Grandma with her children again. Okay, yes, we're a photographer's family, we can't help it. At all of these gatherings we end up with multiple arrangements of the same group of people.

Megan was taking a nap at picture time, but she let us take her picture after she got up!

A few sticks kept the kids entertained for hours.




Esme and Daddy were just totally tuckered out.
