A Toast to a Sister, 2005

Michelle was just a baby when I first got a glimpse
Of her black puffy hair and her super tight grip

Through the years she's developed supersonic strength
Not only in muscles, but in character at length

Fear has never been an emotion that she's known
Big roller coasters and off the high dive she has flown

Soon a great guy from Lake Benton was calling
Long talks and double dates, in love my little sis was falling

Day turned into weeks, which then turned into years
Tony and Michelle endured amid family cheers!

So the girls in our family are getting far out-weighed
David Merle tipped the scales when he came out to play

We're so glad Tony's become a part of our family
A perfect match for our Michelle, even Dad will agree

Through calm and stormy weather Michelle and Tony have always shown
The best characteristics that I have ever known

Faith, hope and love, seems to be the motto that they share
Many years of wedded bliss for them is my prayer

So raise your glass of bubbly and we will all celebrate
This love that God has brought together, oh yes it is great! Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Poem 2005

2005 went by quickly and sad
We mourn the loss of Jeff's Grandad

Friends and family help us frequent the cabin
We enjoy every minute that we have them

A baby nephew was born in June
Perfect he is! We're watching him bloom

Two more brothers in-law, Jeff will boast
Weddings galore! And people we love most

A sister each, we now have in the West
Plane trips and phone calls will pass the test

Golfing, hunting and learning to wake board
These are the hobbies that Jeff likes to hoard

While Jenny enjoys work and crafty pursuits
Time with family is always a hoot!

Enjoy the time that you have here on Earth
But remember the promise of Jesus' birth!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff and Jenny
