On the road to Nagercoil, swing by Kovalam beach: these pictures might tempt you! (Taken in '84 -- who knows what changes have been wrought!)

Andy's Confirmation: May 1, 2005

Andrew John Philip Lutz was confirmed at Bethany Lutheran Church, Alexandria, VA, last Sunday!

Proud Mom and Dad, Philip and Sherry, hosted Grandma Joan and Grandpa Erich down from NJ for the weekend's festivities. Elder brother, Erich (Sonny), chimed in with guitar while Andy pressed his robe for the big day.

Joining Grammy Carol were Poppy John and Grammy Pat from NJ. Filling out the front two pews were Uncle Dana and Aunt Tori from Richmond with cousins Ben, Lori and Diana, as well as Aunt Val, Uncle Tom and the three (swinging) cousins, Travis, Kyle and Hunter.

Andy's testimony from the lectern was well delivered and he had a big smile for everyone after it was all over. We were ALL soooo proud!

The weather chimed in with a beautiful spring day for the outing at Sherry and Phil's.

It was a happy family affair!
