Katie was a Senior this year and graduated last week. After the past year she's had, we are very proud of her
for sticking with school (and graduating), participating in sports, her job and still talking care of our Grandson Jalin.
She has worked hard juggling everything to come to this point. Katie is planning on attending Black Hills State
University in the fall and hopes to become an Elementary Teacher.
Matt has stuck by her and supported her and the baby through these trying times.
And then there's "Jalin", their baby boy (our Grandson). He is approx. 10 months old and has been walking since
he was 8 months He is very independant and has even won a couple of trophies! More to come...
This is a nice black and white senior photo of Katie...one of my favorites (dad)
This is Katie and Matt and their baby "Jalin". Jalin is approx. 10 months old now and very active. He has won
2 trophies, one for "Best Picture" of a baby, and he was Runner-Up for Best Looking Baby. You can see these trophies on display
at "Bob's Family Resturant".
The Grandparents are:
Mike and Deb O'Bryan (Katie's parents)
and
Sonja and John Welke (Matt's parents)
