The Merrill Branch

In 1975, Dinah Smylie married Kenneth Talmage Merrill and begat five children in the ensuing years: 3 daughters and 2 sons. In the fullness of time, those children married and begat many sons and daughters. Here is a recent picture of the Merrill branch of the Smylie clan.
From left to right everyone is,
Back row: Derick, Jeff holding Oliver, Sariah, Benjamin, Daniel
Center row: Ariana holding Ian, Rachel, Isabella, Kenneth, Dinah, Julie, Lilon
Front row: Elizabeth, Cora, Annalise, Elijah, Janae

This picture was taken just after Lizzy's baptism yesterday (Saturday). At the time of taking this photo, both Ariana and Lilon are pregnant, so there are more children yet to be gat.

Oh Dinah what a lovely photo. I don't think I have ever seen all of you guys in one shot. As Da once said, 'One plus one definitly does not make 2!' And what a wonderful occasion. Love you all xoxox
