This two-page spread ran in Nebraska Living several years ago, before Justin and Michelle's three were born obviously. The pickup is still there at the south end of their lot along the highway, though now Sue's got a beautiful arbor for family gatherings, wild grape finally having taken hold and covering it, north a ways halfway between the pickup and the house. Justin and Michelle at tail end, Jim and Sue, then Chessie with dog Chester, my walking buddy before he died last autumn, Chase in his blond phase, and Jared, all the children in chronological order. Chase and Jared were still in Bloomfield High School, I believe. Now everyone's in Omaha except Jim and Sue.
