First: Happy anniversary to us! Grampa brought the steam ship model upstairs. It was a gift from another year.
The day of our wedding, Aug. 22, 2002, we were married on my parent's front lawn, and all 9 if us took a dinner cruise.
The kids arrived after work on Friday, bringing pesto sauce, spaghetti, a salad. This was our farewell before school begins. Jordan is off to Queens University on the 30th. (Astrophysics!) He's in residence, in a bedroom+ (AKA Can+), which means he and his 'roommate' have rooms on either side of a shared bathroom.
Things sure have changed. The family has a two-hour window to move new students in, with 5 minutes in a special parking spot to unload stuff. They have been given maps to get show their routes to campus, with specific roads they are to take. It's quite organized. Classes begin Sept. 2nd!
Aster is going into gr. 10. She starts Sept. 2nd, as well. Band, French, guitar, math, and she's anxiously waiting to get her schedule. She took an online summer course (Careers and Civics), in order to have room in her schedule for guitar in first semester. She's been playing on her own, and has motivated me to play my autoharp. (My piano has to go to the dump soon!)
I decided to put on my wedge sandals! They don't compare with the grandies boots... We were headed out to say a final goodbye, and take more photos, I needed some height.
Jordan tied his tie himself. His voice has changed with his trans treatments. He's taking hormones, Grampa is taking anti-andigens! Grampa's voice hasn't changed. Thankfully! One of them is getting more hair, the other is losing it. We think it is rather funny. Hooray for science, though.

What a nice weekend you all had. Lots of smiles on the faces in your photos...this is awesome!! Family is important and I know you are so proud of each of them...
Happy Anniversary a couple of days late.
Happy anniversary y'all! Jordan is looking great, and to know how to tie a tie already is quite an achievement in itself! My youngest granddaughter is in the same year as he is, at Ohio State. She's in a dorm with boys and girls split on the floor, and her room is on the boys side...with her female roommate. Not sure which showers they'll use. Such adventures they face these days! All the best to the whole family!
Enjoyed seeing the pics from your grand's visit. Happy Anniversary. My granddaughter is musical and to incorporate it into a career, she studied to be a musical therapist. She's in her second year working and loves her job.
...congratulations, I wish you many more happy years.
Happy anniversary. Very fun pictures.
I can't believe your grand kids have grown up so much. When I first started following you they were little girls.
Happy Belated Anniversary! Lovely photos and beautiful, smiling faces!
Happy Anniversary!
Lovely supportive family! So nice to see. Nice try to increase your height. Linda in Kansas
These photos are the ultimate wonderful photos. The kids look great and what a treasure to have these photos of the four of you together. Astrophysics? Boy! That sounds hugely complicated -- well done. (You're right about how college living conditions have changed!). It looks like the most loving family gathering. Most of all, big happy anniversary wishes. (I know what you mean about being the short one in the photos! Me, too!)
Happy Anniversary and what super photos of you all. So exciting for your grands to start the new school year. I wish them both all the very best in their new school year. So exciting for them!
