Leah, Sara, Seth, Tom, Annie, Luke, Emily, Laura ~
sure wish Matt had been able to be there!

Love these grandkids ~ how fun to be together!
(Sadly missing Sofia & Lizzie Sherry, Tyler & Alex Ditto, Isaac Wright)
In January 2022 we'll be celebrating our 50th
wedding anniversary.  
Grandson Isaac Wright, exclaimed that "Ami has the sickest car ever" —
we think that's a compliment

Bringing home a 5' Lilac Bush — no problem!
