Merry Christmas to All

Generations are numbered: children (2); grandchildren (3); great grandchildren: (4).
1.       Scott Hennessey  (2) and his granddaughter, Lanaya (4) who will be a kindergartner next fall.
2.       Mary Norman (2) visited in September from Fresno. We had lunch at McGovern’s on the patio.
3.       Jim Muñoz at Grand Old Day in June. We went to the parade with Jim and Sonia’s family, a little nervous because it was Bob’s first major outing after successful knee replacement surgery at the end of April. We had a great time!
4.       Sonia Muñoz (2) at McGovern’s, during Mary Norman’s visit.
5.       Bob and I spent a few weeks in Florida last March. My camera was on the end of a picnic table and I ran around to get myself in the time delayed shot. We’ll be back in St. Pete Beach for the entire month of March 2014.
6.       Bob and his three sons (2), John, Scott, and Chris. This photo was taken at the Nauti Hawg in Diamond Bluff last October. The beach was lined with vintage HydroStream boats.
7.       Trudy and John Hennessey (2) at my favorite restaurant, Luci Ancora for a celebration of my 63rd birthday on August 10.

15.   We celebrated three big milestones in 2013, my April retirement from the State of Minnesota after 23 years, Bob’s 75th birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary. This early summer shot was taken outside Axel’s in Mendota Heights: Scott Hennessey (2), Meggan Kerkenbush, Trudy Hennessey, Mitchell Hennessey (3), John Hennessey (2), Adam Hennessey (3), Bob Hennessey.
16.   Adam Hennessey (3) drove Chris’ HydroStream on a chilly October afternoon on the St. Croix.
