Clint's funeral

Well, something very sad happened at the end of May 2015.  Chris' dad, Clinton Hanson, passed away at the age of 83. 

Scott, Chris, Clinton and Mardi
 I honestly don't remember this goatee?  Good thing we have the pictures as proof!
 Clint and Travis....I mean Chris. 
 58 years for Clint and Lois. 
 

I love these pictures of him watching stuff cook.....

 Travis
 Jill and Carter's wedding. 
 Is this a glimpse into where Chris' sarcasm comes from? 
 Clint and Lois did our "daycare" for Eva 2 days/week when Eva was a baby. 
 She was known as "The Royal Fork Princess." 

I am so lucky to have some of Clint's handy work in my home.  A toy box, a train table, and entire custom-built mud-room. 
 Jack
Travis
Travis didn't walk without this little toy until 17.5 mos old.  
Clint's job when we moved to the Fox Run house in 2008?  Walking Lukey in the stroller. 
 
Lois, Mardi, Scott, Clint and Chris (the youngest) Hanson

 
Chris' cousin, Kandice Harrington's, kids with our own.  They came from LaRonge Saskatchewan for the funeral.   They have a replica of our family!  Even a Luke who will turn 8 this coming December!  (Travis, Griffin, Luke, Luke, Marie, Ruby, Taylor, Eva)
Grandpa Clint wore a suit and tie to church every Sunday.  So, here is a (blurry) picture of Chris getting these handsome-devils ready for the funeral. 
 Grandma Lois and the sharp-dressed boys. 
 Chris' sister, Mardi, and her fiancé Mike Oswald. 
 The Hansons.  (Yes, Luke's doing that with his eyes on purpose.) 
 All the Hansons, plus Maria who was one of Clint and Lois's exchange students (they had 7) from Sweden who has remained in close contact. 

Back Row:  Maria, Chris, Erika, Mike, Mardi, Scott, Jill (Scott's wife), Aaron (Jed's fiancé)
Front Row:  Luke, Eva, Travis, Lois, Jack (Mardi's son), Marie, Cody and Jed (Scott's boys) and baby Bryce (Cody's son)
