Old Family Pictures

February 10, 2010

I am/was always the photographer of the family. I also loved going through albums and boxes of photos my mom and grandma had saved. Unfortunately we forget to write down who all is in the picture and soon we are left with unknowns, not-sures, no-clues and possible relatives in so many pictures! I found a cute little project on the grandparents.com site that got my creative juices going again. Take a look here at the article Why Family Photos Matter by Beverly Beckham. When I get mine done, I’ll post it – but don’t hold your breath till I do so since I still need to get my Christmas cards out!

Check back at https://mygrandmasue.wordpress.com soon to see if I did it or not! 🙂

Austi in Long Beach

January 5, 2010

Austin is having fun in Long Beach! We are headed to the Library after lunch out on the balcony. We watched the Boeing 787 initial flight video off the Boeing site about 10 times. This is instead of going to watch airplanes at the Long Beach airport….meanwhile……Abby is thinking about arriving today!

Another video Austi and I found that’s informative:

We enjoyed watching Austin and Madison opening their presents this morning. We hope you all are enjoying a similar experience with your family! We hope little Bella gets to feeling better really soon. She is sick so she wasn’t able to join us for the fun.
