Over the years we have experienced so many fond memories – family and friends!

The family gathers back in NWPA where it all started at Mount Nebo – a Swedish Lutheran Church built by ancestors in 1886 – in Mount Jewett, Pa.

The church today still holds special services throughout the year and the town has a yearly Swedish Festival celebrating the heritage of the immigrants from Sweden who settled here!

The church is now considered a historical church as it is eight-sided and modeled after a church still in Sweden.

Some nineteen years ago – Sherry and I and her mother Barb and sister Debbie – journeyed to Denmark – Sweden, and Norway for a ten-day bus trip exploring the countries!

Going back to where her ancestors came from was a highlight for Sherry and her family!

Some day we would like to take a trip to where my ancestors came from in Ireland!

Now we have a set of twins – Cassidy and Taylor who just turned thirteen years old!

Here is what they came home to all those years ago!

Cassidy and Taylor with their mother Tammy – all three have the same birthday which was not planned!

At three years old – while selling their home – the family moved in with us – and here they are at our front door – Cassidy on the left and Taylor on the right.

I still remember the time I found them in the downstairs half bath – with the door shut and they had set up house playing in there – so cute!

Today Cassidy and Taylor with Bode who will turn nine – Cassidy is 5′ 4″ and is gaining on Taylor who is 5’7″ and will be close to 5’10 when done growing!

Bode is also going to be tall and all three take after Sherry who is 5’9″ – Ella is 5’9″ and Sarah is the same as our other granddaughters. Maddy is 5’6″.
