This week's photos feature the Stumpf family. Their boys are truly gentle giants - the tallest at 6'9"! They were a blast to photograph and it was touching to watch their affection and care for their little sister. Paul and Ramona homeschool their kids and Addison leaves for Hillsdale college in the fall, with four possible majors in mind.
Speaking of majors, Ramona, my husband and I were all journalism majors. Ramona worked with my husband years ago at the Bellingham Herald, during some difficult times. Though what was difficult then is nothing like what journalists are facing these days... staffs cut in half and in half again, the shrinking paper size, shrinking readership... and yet the love of writing and journalism continue to flourish. My daughter is in grad school studying journalism at the University of Missouri, where my husband I met and graduated. I expect she will end up working with some online journalism source. Who knows? The face of our world is changing so rapidly. I'm so glad that we have solid families, like the Stumpfs, to guide children into the next generation.
