Chats and Michael soon won't be in Kansas anymore

Michael and Cathy were recently feted by Cathy's congregation at First Presbyterian Church in Wichita, Kan., which she's leaving after several years' service to head a congregation in Rio Verde, Ariz. Judging by the photos from that party, the Wichita folks have a great sense of humor.

Michael, Cathy and the characters they won't be in Kansas with anymore.

Chats and Michael get pilloried. Why? Why not?

Chatsies conquers the wicked witch...

...but wait! Someone photoshopped this one! What are they saying? Watch out, Arizona! The Rev. Dr. Esquire Chatsies is headed your way!

Congrats to T-Bro upon his high school graduation!

Technical difficulties and an extended vacation kept your favorite scrapblog editor from posting these photos of cousin Tyler Broberg's May 22 Eagan High School graduation party on deadline, and a #$%! tornado kept her from attending the gala festivities in person. Thanks to cousin Sam, Tyler's proud dad, for sending these, and congratulations, Tyler, on your next set of adventures at Winona State University and beyond!

Tyler with second cousin Katie Hagberg. How fast the little ones grow up into handsome young gents and lovely young ladies!

Tyler with his proud great-aunt, Lavone Broberg.

Proud mom Bridget was the gracious hostess. Here she visited with cousin Janie "Doot Doo" Kirkwood Hagberg.

In this photo of large, delicious food, you may also notice some of Tyler's second cousins. Katie Hagberg and Moriah Miller lent beauty and sass to the event.

Mary, Nick, Moriah, Elizabeth, Tyler and Marty.

Cousin CMill and small family princesses Elizabeth and Avamarie hung out in the street with the overflow crowd. Luckily for this crew, the day's tornadoes touched down north of the party.
