A few of my favorites include:

The latest Dad in our extended family is Brandon who is married to my eldest daughter Rachael.  Here he is with Nora who was born in February.

Next we have Jon. My youngest daughter Tiffany married Jon 6 years ago. Tiff had her 1st, Calvin last year on Brandon and Rachael’s wedding day. Calvin and his parents are expecting a sister for Calvin later this summer.


Now for a little self indulgence.

My son Josh and his wife Madeline get to play the role of Aunt and Uncle, while I get to be Grandpa.  But first a pic from last year with Josh.

And one from 2002 of the 2 of us.

I also have a picture from last year that features Josh, Rach, Tiff, their spouses, Calvin, and me lurking in the background.

How about a family pic from even further back, November of 2000:

Now we go back a generation and one of my favorites of me and my Dad.

The last two pictures are of men that I never met.

First we have Vern Howard, my Dad’s Dad who passed away before my parents married. This is with his wife, my grandmother who passed away before I was born.

Wrapping this up today is my Mom’s dad.  Louis Koenecke passed away in the 1930’s when my Mom was only 3 years old, and when I was born I was given his first name as my middle name. Here he is as Dad to my Mom and Uncle Bill.
