The Richard G. Beemer Family
The Beemer family is an old-fashioned Catholic family that loves
God and His Church, and a modern family that tries to live the Gospels! Now how confusing is that? God bless!
Dad
The Beemers
The photos on this page are designed to photographically introduce all you
millions of website visitors to the individual Beemers. This is almost as annoying as a Christmas letter, I know,
but I want everyone out there in cyberville to understand who we are as real, live people, not just names on a page.
So, the first family member to be featured here is my youngest son,
Jacob Louis.
Jacob is the kind of kid that brings out the best and the worst in parents. Jacob
can look at unassembled Christmas gifts with many parts and connect all the part dots with little effort without
following the directions. He is musically unchallenged, meaning he has talent he has yet to recognize and understand. He has
a beautiful singing voice, natural rhythm and a disdain for regularly practicing either. He eats everything in sight, preferring
delicacies such as makeroenei ent chausei, haute dauges and the always palate-pleasing baucka-baucka shiken
what you say tenderes?
I must admit, he's me all over again in the creative area, but he's not me as
the practical me, which isn't all that strong anyway, so why am I surprised? More on Jacob Louis later. I might add
that, just in case I might not be with the living (you never know) to add more information to this Page, Jacob
Louis is loved by his Mom and Dad more than he'll ever know, of course, until he is a Dad himself. Time is a teacher.
I love you, Jakey Lou -- Pops
Next there's
Nicholas Alexander,
who is now 17. His voice took a drop down an octave or two in 2002, but his sweet and quiet
personality remain. Nicholas is the kind of kid a parent can depend on, most of the time. The chores he's doing now started
out as Jacob's chores, and he complains now and then, but at least he follows through and does them. Nick is somewhat of an
artist, too. He loves to play basketball, but is unwilling to play organized ball. He's a good runner, too. Both
of the boys have been running cross-country since fifth grade, and actually enjoy it. Nick was the second-fastest runner for
the Huntington Catholic Rams in 2002 as an eighth-grader. We named him Nicholas because he was born between St.
Nicholas' feast day and Christmas. I love you, my Christmas son.
My Boys, Together
Nicholas and Jacob Beemer plant a tree at our former home on 200 North, just as old Dad has done for many
years. The dog's name is Mazey Mae.
Xenia
And then there's the beautiful Xenia Clair Beemer, who graduated from high school in 2003 and
moved to Tulsa, Okla., to go to college there and to be near The Hansens, a rock group she literally grew up with. She
is an extreme fan of theirs. In fact, I believe she knows some of them. She might delve into child psychology or
journalism while in college. She collects hippos because she got one in 4th grade and likes getting more of them, and continues
to get them from Mom now and then. She works part time at Ace Hardware. She likes cake, too. We love you, Xenee.
