Past and present

These are a couple of the eagles we saw as we were driving (40mph!) across the mile-long bridge at Saylorville Lake near Polk City, Iowa, Sunday on our way home from Des Moines.

Below is Noel on the patio fence when the snow was still falling (and starting to stick to the ground--we ended up with 3-4 inches, Des Moines had 7 inches of snow!) last Friday.

This is one of those 'church' pictures of Samantha and Alex in 1991 (probably late spring??). Samantha would have been almost 4, and Alex was 5.

This is most of the Markey grandkids on Easter, 1992. (Michelle, Alex, Brian, Amanda and Samantha)
