Jess, shortly before the birth of Jonathan (Memorial Day, 2000).

What a HOOT when she marched in the State Convention Parade in July, 2000, holding our unit sign!

Folks wondered if she was going to make it through the parade before delivery!!

(By the way, Jonathan--born mid-September--is very beautiful and very healthy, thank you! [Jonathan's proud mommy, grandma, aunt and great aunt/godmother all march with The Spirit of 469!] Jess also recently gave birth to beautiful Madison, which is why didn't march with us in 2003...but we're gladd Jess is back in the line with us for 2004...)

Here's our little Sons of the American Legion member: Jonathan

It's Jonathan's Mickey Mouse in these photos that he INSISTED his mom bring to our annual Christmas party.

You've come a long way, girl!
