Family Photos

So, just who are the Busserts? Well, take a look for yourself!


Back row: Steve 21
Middle row: Sharon 39, Jess 40
Front row: Germaine 20, Betsie 21, Rebecca 22, Heather 18

This photo was taken in May of 2005 during Heather's Graduation party. I still find it hard to believe that my youngest kid has graduated high school! Makes me feel like an old woman!

All of our kids still live back in the States, with the girls still in our hometown in Indiana. Steve and his family have moved on to Virgina, where he is stationed with the Navy. Most of the kids have been to London for a visit, and we try to go back to the States whenever we get the chance.

When I tell folks about our family and I mention the kids names and ages, people always ask if Betsie and Steve are twins. As you can see from the photo, that's about the farthest from the truth! Betsie is petite while Steve is 6'4"! Betsie is a very graceful former ballet dancer while Steve is, err, umm, not! Oh, there are probably a few other differences between the two of them...

Germaine (pronounced like the country Germany) and Betsie joined our family when they were 9 and 10 respectively. They previously lived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.


This is a photo of Sharon holding our first grandbaby, Jenice, while sitting on the front porch of our house in Indiana.















Rebecca, taken during the Summer of '02. We were all on a cruise to Mexico, and had a splendid time!

























Rebecca and her longtime beau, Tomas, in our living room on Ferry Street.



















Beautiful Betsie...

















Betsie with her husband Edgar and their first baby, Jenice.


























Jenice, holding Josh's finger. This poor girl was born six weeks early, and needed a *lot* of care when she first arrived. She was blessed though, and is in perfect health today!














Tyra, Betsie's second child, is a lovely sweet little girl. She is our third and most recent grandbaby!





























Steve, while he was in basic training. While I don't agree with George or Tony, Steve gets my full pride, admiration, and support!
























Steve, with his wife Leanna and son Shawn. Shaun is our 2nd grandbaby, and boy does that kid have a *lot* of energy!















Shawn, just a few days old...



















Germaine, with her wonderful smile and her 'We be Jammin' tee shirt! It was a lovely day in Indiana, and we hauled everyone who was home out to the porch for photos!














On the day of her graduation party! We were all so proud of her!































Heather, on prom night. Heather was invited to three different proms... I thought we would all go broke from buying dresses!

























On the night of her graduation, Heather reluctantly posed with Sharon for this photo. She *hates* getting her picture taken!





























All of the girls together and for once not fighting! (You try raising 4 teen-aged daughters all at the same time! It's no wonder Steve joined the Navy!)















Midnight, the fuzzy menace of the family...

















And for old-times sake, a picture of the family before Jess came bursting out of her cage! This was taken during our cruise to Mexico back in '02.
