See what happens when Mary inspires me!! I call this post “The Trilogy”. I think I look about two years old, so I think this family photo is from 1959. Back row: Gordon and Leslie Front row: Kristin and Martin. Aren’t we cute? You’ll notice that I had [...]
The Soveran family has not been able to get together too many times. It’s a large family that has always lived across Canada. All the sisters and brother were able to attend our wedding.
