Recent Kids

It's been a while since I shared some pictures of the kids. I'm rectifying that today.

Homes Needed

The first item looking for a home is this "Mind Challenge" book that was left at the Vanderzee house on Easter.  They are looking for someone to claim it...or will give it to the person with the highest bid. 

The second item that needs a home is a pair of spiffy brown shoes valued at $79.99. They were ordered online by relation to the VanDyke family and are not returnable.  They are size 11 and are in mint condition.  If interested, contact Karyl.  (She may even give them to you for free...or possibly for a small amount of physical labor. :)

Jumping and Singing With Sawyer

Bubble popping and twinkling stars... all in a day's work for a 2 year old girl.

Van Drunen Golf Outing

Dear Family, We have secured the River Pointe Golf Course for our Golf Outing this year. The date is Saturday, June 18, at 12:00 noon. The address is: 6700 Country Club Road, Hobart, IN 46342. The phone number is: (219)942-2747; www.riverpointecc.net. The course is a couple of miles from the church where Taylor and Nicole got married. We played 9 holes there yesterday - we think it is a good course for our family. The people in the club house were very friendly.

Following is a list of those we presume are playing: (Please let us know of any corrections or additions as soon possible)

Lost in Translation

Here's a picture of a Pakistani rally. The crowd is anti-America and pro Bin-laden. They are TRYING to say, "America- get out of our country." Instead they wrote "Go America Go."

Thought this was hilarious.

Last day of class

The end of an era. This is what 21 years of formal education looks like. I guess I still have those pesky little things known as exams ahead of me, but as for classes, it is all over.

Van Drunen Golf Outing

We are trying to come up with a golf date that most of our family can attend. Now we are looking at Saturday, June 18. We have to contact the golf course yet, but want to nail down a date first. Please let us know as soon as possible if this date works for you....Grandma & Grandpa Van Drunen

Thought Yous Cubs fans would like this...

4 Timothy Christian administrators were given a pretty sweet gift tonight. We were given just about the best possible cubs tickets- literally 3 rows from the field in the owners box. Amazing experience (though I'm not a fan of the team). It was misting rain for a big part of the game and it was cold... but it was AWESOME.

The last picture... yeah, that's three of us with Cub's owner Tom Ricketts. I told him to add a jumbotron to wrigley field. He declined my suggestion.

Some Wedding Pics!

So I feel that I have slightly failed at my photographer duties at Taylor & Nicole's wedding, for which I sincerely apologize. Here are the few pictures that I do have...

Be sure to take note of the classy club we went to in between the wedding and reception :)
