Many of you know that my family, along with 4 other families moved from Reno, NV in 1989 to join a larger Orthodox Church family here in Yakima. Our church now consists of approximately 80 families, with all 5 Reno families still included. The families include: The Humfelds, The McCoys, The Meals, The Sumerfields, and The Derricks. The parents of all 5 families are all still in Yakima, as well as most of their children, but some of their kids have moved away. This past week, one of the Meals' kids, a friend of all of ours, came back to visit Yakima from Alaska. He brought with him his wife, Kim, and their 10 month old baby, Jane. This was cause for a celebration! So, the 5 original families, their kids, and their kid's kids all got together for a picnic in the park. Of course, not everyone was able to attend, but we got quite a few of us.

These are wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
What a group! It's fun to see all the kids too. I'm amazed by how many of you are still in Yakima. That would be my mother's dream come true!
