September 1998
This is one of my favorites. We took an evening drive after dinner on the beach in Ocracoke, N.C., and were treated to a gorgeous sunset over the dunes...

This is a shot of Pete, Melissa, and Stephen playing on the big sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge, on the outer banks of North Carolina.  What a great trip!

More clowning around at Cox Farms just before Halloween.

Fall 1998
One of those rare pictures when the Texas Bonordens and the Virginia Thiringers get together. From left, we have Melissa, Natalie Bonorden, Leslie Bonorden, and Stephen. This represents the complete set of Tom & Erika's grandchildren. (for now...?)

September 1998
We had a great time on our little vacation to Ocracoke, North Carolina. The sun, sand, and surf were great, and the kids had a ball. The best part was being able to drive the Explorer right onto the beach with no crowds to contend with.

Christmas 1998
The year after the classic perfect Christmas picture. Yes, this is the best we could do.  They're still pretty cute and loveable. Peaceful, not so much...

1998
Daddy and his babies...

October 1998
Cox Farms again...Daddy and Stephen romping in the haystack.
