Jonathan, Neil's Great-nephew
 June 2004

 
While we were in Iowa, we got to meet Neil's Great-nephew, Jonathan. His mother Stephanie is the daughter of Neil's older brother Perry. Stephanie is in the Army and is currently serving in Iraq. She misses Jonathan terribly. While he waits for her return, he is living with his Grandma Genie and his Uncle Dustin in New Virginia, Iowa. Jonathan, Genie, and Dustin came for the BBQ at Cindy and Bob's where we played and took lots of photos.

Jonathan's truck isn't as big as Mom's Hummer but he is practicing driving.
So how does this work anyway?

Neil catches up with his nephew, Jonathan's Uncle Dustin, and Jonathan's Grandma Genie.
One happy reunion!

Jonathan got to play with his cousins (second cousins actually) and Uncle Neil. What you don't see is Aunt Nan who is taking the picture is covered with grass from rolling down the hill with Jonathan.
