Our father Jim, before his accadent, could still do some pretty amazing things. He used to lay on the floor, put his hands palms down by his ears, knees bent, then give a giant push and land on his feet! He told us this was called a "KIP". We as children(Kari , Kristi and Jamie, were all involved in gymnastics. Dad would move the furniture out of the way in the living room and we would all practice hand stands, cartwheels, splits, front hand springs, back hand springs etc. Kristi was the best at this. She would do ariels and all kinds of fancy stuff. Then as jamie Ann got older, she too did some fancy stuff. I guess inheareted this ability from dad. He was quite an athlete:)

A very amateur family historian and genealogist. Hopefully my passion for the subject will make up for my lack of skill and training. Enjoy my work in progress!

"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." - Malachi 4: 5-6
