1999 Christmas dinner at my son Tommy's in Renton Washington
Left to right, middle son Talon who is in now in Ashland with our three youngest GKs, me, my beautiful wife Karyn, Youngest son Cole, oldest son Tommy and his Wife Cyndee who is pregnant with our first grandson.
This was the last Christmas with Cole.
Fast forward to 2018 and add in Talon's spouse Jamie and little Cole, Piper and Izzy. Then Cyndee, GD Tyler, GS Zach and Tommy on the end. Pup Biscuit at my feet and Colfax at Tommy's feet. At Tommy's in Renton.
Both pictures are Christmas pictures. 2020 will be the first Christmas without our kids.

JohnG,
Good looking crew. I could have almost guessed little Piper was from Wisconsin. My Dad was one of 18 children from Tomahawk, Wi. Over half, male and female, married redheads, so every time we have a family reunion, there are a half dozen or more little redheads running around! Takes a couple hours talking with the Aunts to figure out who goes with who! LOL
