Born to Melynn and James Schneider on August 11, 1999, SEAN MICHAEL weighing in at 8 pounds 6 and 1/2 ounces. Grandparents-- Jerome and Mary Schneider, Great Grandparents--Jack and Franny
When Melynn realized she was pregnant, she was delighted and so was James. She went to the Doctor when she was about five weeks pregnant. An ultra sound was suggested.
The doctor then informed her that she was going to have a baby with either Down’s syndrome or Turrete’s syndrome. The Doctor suggested a termination. Melynn told the doctor that termination was not an option. She was sent to a specialist. He said it is a little early to tell. The parents both told him that whatever was wrong, it was their baby and they would take care of it.

Of course they prayed that all was well. The next ultra sound
showed that there was not anything apparently wrong with the baby. On August 11, they had a beautiful baby boy. He was perfect.
They were ready to accept whatever God sent them, but they feel
very blessed with this beautiful child.


Another situation arose in our family a number of years ago. The people involved were living together, and were surprised when the woman became pregnant. They had decided abortion was the answer but when she went to her physician, he told her she was past the first trimester, and it was too dangerous. They were married and had the child a lovely little boy. He has grown to a fine young man. He has been very active in pro-life circles and has been especially active in trying to influence people who are in the political forefront to champion right to life.

How thankful we are that he was born, and his parents have a completely different viewpoint of the horror of abortion, and have become proponents against it.



On September 16 at 10:45 a new little angel joined our family. Her mother is Judy (professional name Judy Brown)and her father is Mark Schneider. Jack and Franny are the paternal grandparents and the maternal grandparents are Bob and Rita Brown. This beautiful baby joins Sam, 5, Madeline, 4, and Katie who is 2 and 1/2.

Another little girl, Georgia Bliss Manuel born on September 6 to Sara(Peter's daughter) and her husband Miaciah Manuel. She is so beautiful and at two weeks she was smiling at Grandma Franny. Looks just like Mama did. The grandparents are Peter and Stephanie and she has lots of cousins and uncles and aunts. These children all have such an extended family with so many Great Uncles and Aunts and first and second and even third cousins, that they will never have to face the world alone unless they want to. May God bless you and keep you Georgia. You are much loved.


Born on the 22 of September, a new baby boy--Noble James, weighing in at 7 lb. 2 ounces. The parents are Curt and Christie and the grandparents are David and Lori. They are very thrilled and love being grandparents. What a bevy of little ones we have. It is such a wonderful thing when we have a picnic in the park which is just two doors from us and have the family take over the whole park with so many little ones and babies. They have a good time together, and because there are so many little girls, the boy cousins will be thrilled to finally have another boy to add to their group. Pamela and Kevin, and especially Daniel are so very happy to have a nephew. Daniel is only eleven, so he is enjoying the baby immensely.
