We like to call this the 2nd "9 pack" picture. Jen's parents, brother, and sister are on the left. Shawn's parents and sister are on the right. We have a similar "original 9 pack" picture that was taken when we all went to FL when we were ki

This is all of our WONDERFUL nieces & nephews. This was taken this past summer at our favorite lake which is 10 minutes from our home.

Our parents took this picture of us outside church on our First Communion day. We used it on the cover of our programs for our Wedding 24 years later. That's fate!!!

Here is Shawn taking our best friends and some children on a boat ride in Wisconsin Dells during a summer vacation.

Shawn water skiing behind our boat. Shawn has been skiing since he was 7 years old. His parents had a boat and our families went boating almost every weekend in the summers. He absolutely loves it and has gotten pretty good at it over the years!

Jennifer tubing behind our boat with our niece and nephew.

Jennifer's mom's family has a cabin up North in Florence. Here we are hanging out outdside the cabin on a hot summer day with Jen's parents and brother's family. The kids are cooling off in the canoe which we filled with water for them to play

This is a picture of Jen with her sister, sister-in-law and twin niece and nephew trying to keep warm on a cold winter day on the porch of the family cabin up North. We enjoy going up in the winter to ski, sled, and ice fish.

Jennifer & Shawn enjoying a camp fire with Jennifer's brother, sister, and sister-in-law. We go camping for a full week every July and every Labor Day weekend with about 20 members of Jen's family.

A beautiful view of the Mississippi river from the cottage we go to every summer with Shawn's parents. We take our boats and spend most of the week on the water and the beaches.

Shawn volunteers for the Big Brothers / Big Sisters program in our area. This is him and his 15 year old little brother raking leaves in our back yard. They get together a couple times a month and do different activities.

Here is our home. We are surrounded by trees. Jen's nephew likes to call our yard "a forest". Our child will love to explore in our yard some day.

This is a large park near our home. We drive by it often and it is always full of kids. We can't wait to take our child there.

Every October we go camping. Us, Jen's parents, and her brother and his wife take their 4 kids to the pumkin farm. This is a picture of us on a hayride out to the fields to look for pumpkins to take back to the campsite and carve.

Here are all Jennifer's first cousins on her mom's side and her brother and sister. Every one of them came to our Wedding.

This is most of Jen's dad's side of the family. Every year on Christmas day we get together with Jen's grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins and their children. We also do this with Jen's mom's side of the family the weekend before Christmas
