May

This was a busy month but great month.

Our Daphne plant this year did really well.

I am so glad we still have one.

It still feels a link to the years Dad was here.

Well I went for four weeks to Iowa.

There were so many celebrations  this month.

Will try to get a picture of each occasion and some more.

This dog, named Harrison is big, but he thinks himself, he is very little and can fit in small places.

He is very much loved in the VanGinkel household.

Renee  knitted little animals for the girls and I took them to Iowa.

Jordyn made a house for hers.

We first celebrated Jordyn's 9th birthday.

Our soccer player Riley.

It is a delight to see the grand kids participate in things from school.

No matter what age and no matter in what.

Emery, another soccer player for this year.

Derek graduated from eight grade.

They did not have any special program for the occasion as only a class party.

What was a lot of fun for the kids.

Then we had a bridal shower for this lovely bride. 

Brittany, another grand daughter we love to add to our family.

Bryce had a birthday and turned nineteen. He likes cards and gifts.

He likes most of all Reese's  Peanut buttercups.

The whole school did a concert in the BJ Haan Auditorium at Dordt College

Jordyn sang her heart out.

Riley graduated also from eight grade with a ceremony in one of the churches. in Sioux Center.

'The foursome'

Growing up way to fast.

Bryce graduated from High School in Rock Valley.

He looked so handsome in his cap and gown.

Love this picture.

Oh, oh they all slowly on grow taller then grandma. 

Marissa passed me by too.

So you see this ones as well.

Well there will be so much more to love.

One big giant humongous rhubarb plant in the Elgersma garden.

It came from the Van Dalen's garden in Lynden as a little seedling.
