David & Gwen Schwieder Family: Our Schwieder Reunion

Our Schwieder Reunion

We had a marvelous time at Bear Lake. Tammie did a fine planning job and the weather co-operated perfectly. I'm so glad everyone could come - except Todd who is in LA - we missed him but it was great having all the other families there. Thanks, everyone, for coming. So I have a million pictures and can't pick just a few so enjoy all the following.

Zachary and Rob were having a water fight and Zach always got splashed in the face as he shot water at Rob, so he solved the problem by turning around and shooting backwards.

Abbie was told she could have one cookie so she took one (handful of) cookie. (I've always said I have brilliant grandkids)

Mom, I'm glad you had such a great time. I know I did. Thanks for the compliment, that always makes the effort feel that much better.

David and I have been happily married for 39 years. We have the 6 best kids in the world who have turned out to be quite exceptional adults despite having us for parents. And to make it even better, these 6 exceptional kids have married 6 exceptional spouses. Thus it stands to reason that our grandchildren are also exceptional. (I am really not prejudice, this is all true) David and I love life, each other, and the Lord. We are currently serving a mission in Taichung Taiwan and loving it. We miss our 21 grandkids but trust their parents to do a fine job rearing them without us there to help.

We are so grateful to all those wonderful people who have been important in our lives and had such positive influence on us and our children. Thank you.
