Christmas 1969

We had a busy summer,
With wedding, babies and such,
Is it any wonder
We haven’t kept in touch?

Cindy had a baby girl,
That’s a boy and girl for them,
We wouldn’t trade our “babies”
For any precious Gem.

Peggy had a little girl,
That’s Tracie and Lisa Marie,
We’ve four of the sweetest babies
You could ever see.

Jack and Vick were married,
A beautiful bride was she,
So we add another branch,
To our family tree!!

Jim is out of high school,
Graduated in June,
He’s working, playing, traveling,
For the draft will get him soon.

Doug was our football hero,
The first son we let play,
Dad and I didn’t miss a game
Got hoarse from yelling ‘hooray’.

Gary’s growing taller,
He’s passing Jack and Jim,
At the rate he’s going
They’ll be looking up at him.

Jack’s been gone since September,
It seems more like a year,
Be glad when his duty is over
We sure do miss him here.

Last but least is Julie,
Our baby was 12 this year,
From morn till nite she’s ‘up the hill’
For horses pasture near!

Sis and John are mighty fine,
Keep busy watching our ‘crew’,
Our gang is like “Pinoccoi’s nose”,
It grew,… and Grew. and G R E W !!
