    Family in Gordon

    Here are some pics of me and my 4 kids taken in the highlands of Northwest Illinois. All kitted out in Gordon Modern.

    Me and me 4 beauties



    My son James and me. James was wearing kilts to high school before I even thought of buying a kilt for myself. He's a member of X-Marks (Seamus - inactive) with some really quirky posts. He's my inspiration and hero, an I just finished a jacket conversion for him as well as gave him that fine sporran I made (not the one he's wearing here, God forbid).



    Here are James and Megan, my eldest. Both half Celtic, half Italian, but Meg Identifies with the Itie side more.



    James had a swingin' time. Should this be on the Kilting Do's and Don'ts thread?



    Some views over Irish Hollow, Jo Daviess County.







    I love my kids, and the family farm.

    You have a fine looking family. It's good that everyone can get into the spirit of things.

    Now, what clan do they ID themselves with again

    Nice pics, Megan looks deadly serious, while James looks like he is up to something!
    Looks like a great family and lots of fun!

    I heartily agree that family is everything. Yours looks wonderful. That scenery is gorgeous, looks a lot like the B.C. interior. Thanks for sharing.
