October 24th, 2008 was George's Mom's birthday. The photo was taken by Char on her cell phone, forwarded to Di and uploaded to Di's computer. See, The Kawell women are so techno!
Our Niece Heather with her husband Chip and their 3 children, Hannah, Roarie, and Koarbin, plus Cedar the dog and Kera the llama all live in Missoula, Montana near the Bitteroot Mountains. These photos were taken at the Tulip Festival in Washington; the near-coastal town of Forks, Washington; at Grumpa and Gran Marn's home in Graham, Washington; and some at home in Montana.
Here we are - Mom on her 80th Birthday here in Washington to visit. Corrine, Udo, Jessica & Jeremy from Germany - and Jessi at the end of her 2 year exchange student adventure. Gary & Kathy brought Mom out on the plane with them from Illinois - thank you! Ben & Tulika, Katie & Tom, Dan & Ginger, George & Di all just had to do the ferry to get here. If anyone has photos to add, please just email them to dkawell@msn.com and I'll post them here too. Thanks Jim & Jackie!!
