Debbie Schilling and Tom Bundy's Photos Page: 1996

	Awww, young love. Tom sent his fiancee, Debbie, flowers at work for Valentine's Day.
	Debbie made a fancy Valentine's dinner. The first course was artichokes with hollandaise sauce, which Tom had never had before. Taken 2/14/96.
	Jill turned five and got new clothes, books, videos, and toys. Taken 2/15/96.
	We took Claire and Jill up to Minnesota so we could attend Kristine and John's wedding. We stayed with Debbie's dad and stepmom. Here's Claire hanging out near their dog, ...
	... and Jill playing dress-up. Taken 3/96.
	Some of our friends were out of town so we arranged to drink a toast to everyone in our two different time zones. Here are Debbie, Beth, Tom, and Andy (with Marcie, Mike, & Jim in spirit). Taken at 7:00 PM sharp on 3/7/96.
	Tom worked on a board that could hold Claire's new Jelly Bean switches. Here's Claire testing out one of the switches, ...
	... and here she is with the final result. The pink one operates a radio; the purple one operates a fan. She loves them! Taken 3/12/96
	Tom's identical twin brother, Ken, came to visit for the weekend so we took him to Kim and Larry's St. Patrick's Day party. We brought fixings to make pigs-in-blankets which they assembled on site.
	Here are Debbie, Beth, Tina, and Monica at the party. Much fun was had. Taken 3/16/96.

	Claire was knocked out by a case of the flu, so her sister joined her for a while to keep her company. Taken 4/96.
	Here's Claire and her soon-to-be stepdaddy, ...
	... and here's Claire smiling while having some snacks. Taken 4/96.
	It was Girls Night Out in Indianapolis. Here are Debbie, Melinda, Beth, Michelle, Marcie, Tina, Monica, Sally, and lucky John, bumming a ride in the limo with us.
	Behold the first and last time this dress was seen in public.

	On another field trip, they went to McDonald's. Taken 5/96.
	Debbie's aunt and uncle, Mary and Bob, came to visit and attend the Indy 500. The only photo we took of the entire visit was this one of the refrigerator because of all of the beautiful food it contained: kabobs, fruit salad, and chocolate layered dessert, plus box lunches for the trip to the race. Taken 5/25/96.
	Debbie and a table full of her Baker Hill colleagues attended Indiana Software Association Awards dinner. Here is company founder Karen Hill speaking. Taken 6/4/96.

	... and a small loft upstairs. Taken 7/1/96.

	... but five-year-old Jill took this photo of us, just moments after the brief but beautiful ceremony.
	Here is Tom with his new stepdaughter, Jill, who did a terrific job as flower girl at our little backyard wedding. Taken 7/26/96.
	Since our wedding consisted of just the four of us, we hosted a small reception the next day in our tiny condo. We put up a collage of photos taken in the year that we had been together.
	Our friend Jim took some portraits of us outdoors ...
	.. and indoors.
	We had an official wedding cake even though we only had a dozen or so guests.
	We changed into casual clothes and opened our gifts.
	We had a great time. Ken, Juliet, Tom and Debbie demonstrated the Bundy Sandwich, while Ken & Tom modeled new napkins we had received. Taken 7/27/96.
	In August, Debbie's Grandma Normark came to visit, accompanied by Debbie's aunt Evelyn. We didn't get a single picture of the two of them, but here are Debbie's cousin Kathy and her son Josh.
	Afterwards, our sweet girls watched a video together. Taken 8/3/96.
	We spent a glorious 11 days in Scandinavia (August 28 - Sept. 8). Read all about it here. We attended the World Congress on Rett Syndrome in Göteborg, where Queen Silvia of Sweden spoke. She walked right past us twice, so we were able to get this great closeup photo on 9/1/96. (Also see our photos of Queen Elizabeth, taken in 2002!)
	Also attending the conference were some terrific Aussies, Bill Callaghan, the president of the Rett Syndrome Association of Australia, and Dr. Helen Leonard, Researcher Extraordinaire. It was great to finally put some faces with the names. Taken 8/31/96.
	We took a ferry to Denmark and spent some time on the North Sea. Taken 9/1/96.
	We got to see Lillehammer, Norway, without all the snow. Look for ski hills in the background next to the sign. Taken 9/3/96.

	In the north of Sweden, we visited Debbie's second cousin Kristina, shown here with her parents, Gunnar and Birgit, and her partner, David. Taken 9/5/96.
	Now, we may be a bit biased, but we think Kristina and David's daughter, Elina, is the most beautiful 2-year-old in all of Europe. Taken 9/5/96.
	Jill performed in a dance recital at her daycare. Taken 9/96.

	Debbie flew to the Twin Cities for a business trip to Coon Rapids, so she extended her trip by a day to visit her dad and attend 3M Employee Pride Days with her dad. There were lots of cool things to see and do, including getting a digital photo taken and printed on the spot. Taken 11/15/96.
	Claire loves dogs, and here she is actually throwing a ball to Eric & Paula's dog. Taken 11/17/96.
	We traded in Tom's Toyota Supra ...
	... for a new gold 1997 Saturn sedan. You can tell ours apart from all the others because ... well, okay, you can't, but it's a great car. Taken 11/19/96.
	Here's a nice family shot of us taken by Patti when she and Margaret visited for dinner in November. (Editor's note: the original photo was scanned with cutting edge 1996 technology and is long gone. All other photos on this page were rescanned in 2018 which is why this one stands out as such low quality.)
	Here's another photo taken of us that evening. Taken 11/96.
	Claire's just chillin' with her video and her Instant Breakfast. Taken 11/96.
	Las Vegas was the place to be on Thanksgiving Day 1996. Here are Mark, Debbie, Tom, Mike, Marcie, Jim, Beth, and Andy in front of the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino, our home-away-from-home for the weekend.
	Bob flew us from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon in his Mooney on 11/30/96. Here's a very cool view of the Hoover Dam (you can see the wing of the Mooney in the corner of the photo).
	Here we are enjoying the sunset at the Grand Canyon. It was cold but gorgeous. Taken just before the sunset at Pima Point on 11/30/96. Read all about it here.
	Claire loves hanging out in this loft at her daycare. Taken 12/96.
	Tom sent Debbie flowers for her birthday at work. Taken 12/13/96.
	Less than a week later, she got more flowers, but these were from our friends because she had a terrible case of strep throat. Taken 12/18/96.
	Here's our annual Christmas photo for 1996.
