Our little fence pictures

At our last trip to the dog park, the kids were climbing on the fence which I happened to notice looked very similar to the one from the previous posts.  So I snapped a quick pic!  Here's our little fence picture.  We'll see lots of you at Zac and Stephanie's wedding soon and hopefully we'll make it to family picnic.  


Quick update...back in February I moved from my full-time position to a part-time position at Johnson County Community College (working in a very similar capacity, just with less responsibility, yea!) and now have decided to resign all together to order to stay home full-time with the kids.  I'm very excited about my new adventure and being able to spend even more time with Taylor and Xander.  -Elissa & Matt Bright

More comments on the fence....from Mary Jo

Thanks to those of you who posted.  Just a comment from my historical perspective:  I know the first picture was taken in the summer of 1984.  Alex is the baby in the picture.  Suzanne wasn't on the scene yet.  She was born in the summer of '84, but didn't arrive here until October of that year, and since Andrew is in the picture, I know we were at the picnic.  The last picture Janice posted was staged to be the same kids in the same positions as they were in the first picture.  There is another picture from that day, too, that was taken immediately afterwards, that included all of the kids that had joined the family in the intervening 11 years.  I do remember that was taken in 1995, because Andrew had just graduated from high school and I was feeling sentimental because he was leaving the next day for his first full-time job...traveling around the state with an electronics company pulling cable to wire schools for the internet!  Wow, talk about "historical" times.

Fence picture saga continues, from Janice

Since we are waxing nostalgic about the fence pictures, I thought I would post these that I ran across while going through old pics for the wedding in July (growing up video). 

 The first two are 'fence picture preparation'.   (Look at all those slender backsides and long legs. Way to go young moms!)

Next appears to be 'fence picture dismount'.

And, lastly, we have a reenactment.  Not sure of the year on this one.  I would guess possibly 1994 or 1995.

Love,

Janice

p.s.  Ed added some pics on Zac's wedding post also.
