Eli's Blessing

Dennis' sister had a baby in the spring and waited to bless him so that we could be there. We were so happy we were able to go. We have missed out on all the other nieces and nephew's blessings. It was great to finally be able to see one get blessed. All of Dennis' siblings also flew in for the weekend. It was so good to see everyone. We were able to fly out our daughter Jessica for the weekend as well. It was great to have all the family together again even if only for a couple days.

The little man of the hour, Elijah Bohne. My newest nephew. The disk of pictures I was given taken at the church turned out to be an empty disk :( These are all taken back at the house after the blessing. I am sad I don't have any from at the church.

This is Aunt Barbara giving Eli some love. I don't think a minute went by that someone wasn't holding him. He sure is loved.

This is Dennis' brother Greg playing with our nephew Joshua. The two of them had everyone cracking up. We had not seen Greg or his Wife Barbara in four years. It was sooo good to seem them and their son Spencer too. Hopefully it won't be another four years before we see them again.

This is Dennis' other brother Donald and their Uncle Rick. Uncle Rick is a favorite in our family. He and his sweet family came to Japan to see us. We had a great visit and we are looking forward to them visiting us in Germany.

This is Dennis' Uncle Russel, his cousin Renee and our other nephew big brother Clayton. Russel is the joker of the family. He has false teeth and will take them out to show the kids he can take his teeth out. Then he will ask the kids to take theirs out. He had the little ones going all day trying to take out their teeth. He is such a crack up.
