A Christmas gathering of the Pawlowski Siblings at the Seidels a couple of years ago. First Janie, and then Martin ...and now there are two. Left to right we have Martin, Hal, Janie and finally Joe. Note that enlarged views of any of the pictures can obtained by "clicking" on that particular picture and you can return by "clicking" on the enlarged picture. Below we have the Paul siblings. Yes there was a change from Pawlowski to Paul in family name but no loss of family bonding. |
This clan literally journeyed in from "around the world" for this gathering. Patty, the second from the right, made the 26 hour trip in from Forbes, Australia. |

A good shot of the grandkids and what can happen when a happy family lets "the good times roll". |
The doctors and their family. I will let you make the call on whether Wesley, pictured here, or Jacob in Dave's family shot below, was missing from the Grandkid shot. Both Tom and Craig insist the missing Grandkid was Wesley, so I will list it that way. |
 |
 |
And here we have the son, Tom, that Martin always described as THE Engineer and his sweety Rachael Pann. |
The Silvias got caught grabbing a bite to eat at the luncheon offered by the Community Baptist Church, in Richmond, MI. after the ceremony. |

 |
The Texan's of the Paul clan made it in and even though I listened close I didn't even hear a hint of a drawl. They did mention that they loved Texas and that is where they are going to stay. |
A good shot of Dave and Kathy, and their lovely family. You tell me whether Jacob, pictured here, or Wesley is the guy in the grandkid's picture. Dave and family made it down from the wilds of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. |

All the way from Forbes, Australia in the land "down under" Patty made it to Detroit Metro Airport late Friday. Inspite of the grinding trip she had a "gid day mate" for everyone. |
The youngest of the Paul siblings read a letter at the services to his dad which was as touching a letter as I have heard. The good news is there could have never been a question that Martin felt loved by his family and had to be VERY proud of each and every one of them. And justly so! He sure told us about it at every opportunity. |

The Seidels had to show off with the two Emilys, their daughter and Craig and Stephanie Pawlowski's Emily. Craig and Stephanie faithfully took these pictures but didn't get in any. |
"Old" Joe and his "kid" brother Hal also got a chance to get together. The good looking one on the right is, me, Hal. |

And then we caught my other brother (in law) Art getting a playful buff from nephew Jeff. |
