So all of these Culvers spawned and there's us.
Me, Jamey, Joel, Laura, Ben, Todd, Chad, Craig, Chelsea, Ben W., Bradley, Brittany, Dylan, and Lukas. I'm the oldest; the next grandchild wasn't until Jamey, nine years later. Susan and I used to pretend to throw his toys out the back of the station wagon, just to get him to cry. He never would.
There's a big batch of them finishing college, all the same age. I love watching them all hang out together at my grandparents lakehouse. Grandma feeds us junk food and we take the station wagon (she still drives a station wagon) for joyrides into Elkhart or Cassopolis. If you know these "cities" you know how funny that is.
They are all brilliant.
