The Pankratz Family



My oldest brother, Keith, lives in Germany, but was bringing his family to visit Mom and Dad in TX.  We haven't seen them in a couple years, so we were all excited to get a chance to fly to Boerne for a quick visit.

The weekend started off like this:



 And ended like this!



Keith & MiNa married 19 years with their sons Kevin and Ethan
Kris & Amy married 24? years with their daughters Rylie and Kinleigh
Mom & Dad (Roderick and Allison) married 49 years!!!!!!
Shey & Kari married 22 years with our sons Everett and Jansen


Well, Mom and Dad must have done something right.  They set an amazing example for us to follow and I am so happy to be a part of this family.  They are the best parents and grandparents you could ever have.

The grandchildren are lined up in order of age.

Rylie has graduated from university and is working in Boerne as a graphic designer.
Everett is attending university and works at our bicycle shop on the weekends.
Jansen and Kinleigh are 3 days apart, are both seniors in high school and will attend university in the fall.
Kevin is in grammar school and can build some amazing things with legos and is very computer savvy.
Ethan is also in elementary school and is not only learning how to juggle, but is quite a talented athlete.


It was so much fun to visit with Keith and the boys!  All the boys were busy collecting bugs, leaves, rocks, playing hide and seek, tag and going for walks to catch up on all they have been doing.  I wish we had more time to spend with Rylie and Kinleigh, but perhaps next visit.
