The Other Family

Let me introduce you to my nephew Tony and niece Shanya. They belong to Steve's side of the family. I have only met them a few times in their short lives and I'll have to tell you they are fun to be around.

Tony is involved in Speech at his school. This does not surprise me at all since his mother loves English and his father loves acting (or acting out, I could say). Shayna will be a teen next year and has a love for reading and is still finding out where her passions lie.

Tony and Shayna have a great sense of humor, can shoot straight with you and are smart. Both of these young adults are not shy, nor are they afraid of holding a conversaton with you; which I appreciate immensely.

This photo was taken on the ferry ride from Clinton to Mulkiteo the morning they were heading back home. We were able to spend a few short days with Dave and his family and Steve's Uncle Bob (I've put up a short slideshow of the family).

I hope that we will be able to get together with the family in the future. Time doesn't stop for anyone and these young people will be out of the house and on their own in no time.

Sher and Steve:

I just have to say, Tony looks ajust like David, and Shanya look just like Anne. WOW! Too bad I did not get the chance to see them when everyone was here (a few years ago at Christmas). Time sure does fly by fast.
