Jessica's Shower

On a beautiful Summer day, June 2005, the Bleess clan (those available) gathered to welcome Jessica. Jessica & Adam, (who is the son of Theresa's brother, Jerry) will be married in July. It was also Father's day. The clan gathered for a pot luck picnic at Theresa's brother, Joe & Linda's home; then went to brother Jerry & Sandy's brand new home out in the country.

Watching bride-to-be Jessica open her gifts in the living room of Sandy's new home.

More of the crowd of cousins, nieces, aunties. 

Here, most of the Fathers gathered for a "formal" dad's portrait. Back row: Ron, Roger, Rich's son-in-law Jacob, Frani's husband Dan, Jerry. Front row, Rich's son "BJ" with his two little sons, Rich, Noel, and Joe.
