Strong Showing

On behalf of my parents, who don't really know what the internet is, let alone a blog, and the rest of the Parkers, THANK YOU. The Grandpa Dick/Meme family showing this last week in SLC was impressive. You're collective and individual presence was a great comfort. I know it had been a very, very long time in seeing some of you, but it was great. I hope we can have some reunions or at least take some trips together in the future. I hope my kids will get to know you and your kids and learn to appreciate strong family ties (and learn what fire-rrhea is; it's not in any medical dictionaries that i have).

What is your family number?

While we were in Utah this past weekend we decided to see how many people are in our family now (the answer is 60)... and we thought it would be fun to see what order you were born or married in... so here is the list (let me know about spelling errors, or if we got the order wrong)
