After our trip to Florida, we drove to the Church beach retreat. We had a nice time. We met new friends and got to know others better. We also had a great theme about baptism and the journey after we are dunked.
Below is a slide show of the landscape on Fort Caswell. I also have some pictures of people/activities:
It has been a long week. We drove down to Florida for Granny Snelgrove's funeral. I was amazed to find out the number of people she touched in her life. I know she touched mine with a great sense of humor, love, and a few pinches for the heck of it. I loved going to her house to visit. We would look at all the old family pictures, talk politics & religion, remember the farm days, and sometimes just sit and be...
Kathi spent a lot of time with her growing up and I know Granny made a big impression on her life. Talking to everyone at the funeral and dinner, I am amazed that the little old lady from Fort White made such a big impact on so many people's lives. I hope my life can be lived as full and if I impact even a small percentage of what she did, it would be an honor.
We love you Granny....
Well my boy is getting older. He woke up and discovered a large soccer net in the backyard. We played soccer really early in the morning. What I enjoyed was the unexpected hug while we were playing. He told me he loved me and the soccer goal was the best.
I also lugged 8 bags of sand to the sandbox, that no one played with. But, at least I got a new fancy 4 wheel garden cart to use out of the deal.
This was his first real birthday party that did not only consist of family and neighbors.
He was easy going about it, just happy to have a party. He did not care about a theme or specifics.
He had about 5 kids over and they had a wonderful time. We played hide and seek, soccer, ate hot dogs and cake, open presents, ran around wild...
Click here to see the birthday party pictures. It was a really nice time and we enjoyed everyone. I hope he has these friends for a lifetime. My wife talks about relationships like that and it amazes me. I think that would be really cool.
OK, so I just realized all the videos I took with my 35 mm camera where never uploaded. I planned to incorporate them into one movie with music, but do not have time.
Click on the Family Videos link listed in the top right of this page to view them. They are listed as Christmas 2007. From Chloe dancing, Lisa singing, to electric shock treatment.
Below is one I plan to show Caitlyn's boyfriends... Check out Grandma Jill, not knowing the words does not stop her!
