California: September 2008

In mid-September, Dan traveled to California to visit with Marie - who was celebrating a birthday - her husband Brian and almost-two-year-old Xander, as well as Dan and Eyvonne.

Xander, his parents and Grandpa visited the Monterrey Aquarium and also took an excursion train ride that runs through Redwood forest near Felton, Calif.

Both Dan and Eyvonne are busy with both work and studies these days, as they pursue their college degrees. So their time was limited but they joined Dan, Marie and Brian for a nice long Saturday evening meal at an Italian restaurant in Gilroy.

Here are Dan's photos. As always, click once to play the slideshow, twice to go to the album on Picasa for larger images. (Videos are in another post.)

Videos from California, September 2008

From Dan's visit to California... Here are a couple of videos of Xander, at home but on the move!

In memory of Austin

Family members gathered at Resurrection Church in Rye, N.Y., on Sept. 27, 2008, to say farewell to Austin, father of Austin and Owen, grandfather of Rachel, Gerrit and Lizzie, brother of Daniel and Anamarie, and "Uncle Austin" to so many of us. Born Nov. 20, 1917, Austin passed away on Sept. 9.

We have dedicated a page to Austin's memory and invite all family members to write in to add their remembrances.

Settling in to a new home

Cathy, Christopher and Stephanie have settled in to a new home and new routines in Hilliard, Ohio, near Columbus, where Cathy was relocated by her employer over the summer.

These pictures of their new house were taken in June 2008 at the start of the moving process.







This is Hayden Falls, at a park in Hilliard.
