THANK YOU FOR VISITING. WE HOPE TO ADD MORE INFORMATION AND PICTURES IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE SIGN OUR GUESTBOOK, AND COME BACK OFTEN!
We were very fortunate to have Mike, Eileen and Connor visit us in September. There are some more pictures on Connor's Site but here is a special one of myself, my wife Helen, son Mike and grandson Connor at Harris Beach in Brookings, Oregon. Unfortunately, Eileen took the picture, so we do not have a current one of her. 
We also visited the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland, Oregon while they were here and this next picture is of Connor studying dinosoars with his Dad and Grandpa.
Mike and Eileen bought a beach house in June of this year. The next picture is of Mike and Connor in the beach house right after they purchased it. 
Finally, and with decidedly mixed feelings, I complete the pictures of Mike & Eileen's family with a picture of Bogey and Elmo. Bogey is to love or hate--depending!
We do not have as current of pictures of Steve and Joanna's family because we didn't get a disk made of the last few rolls, and I've been very slow to enter earlier ones. Anyway, here are a few to peak your interest. The first one is of Graham, Samuel and Abram looking over Abram's crib, with Joanna on the left (nearly cut out of the picture). It is hard to get pictures of the parents very often!! 
Here is another picture of the three boys a little older!
One taken last Christmas with Graham and Abram and Joanna's mother Gail. 
Here is one with Graham and his Mom! It was taken almost a year ago just before we left from a visit and he was pretty upset. He is home schooled and the home school group had chosen states about which to make presentations. He had chosen Oregon since we had just moved here!
And one with Grandpa and Samuel and Abram!
This summer we took a major camping trip with our 26 foot Nash Travel trailer. We have some pictures of the trailer and the Thomas family as well as Helen's mother from the early part of that trip out of Granite Falls Washington, which I will enter soon. This first picture is of Helen, myself, her Mom, and Harris, Judy, Kyle and Keith Thomas
The second picture is of Helen and her mother Shirley Nydegger relaxing
Another shows that I can relax right along with Helen.
This is one with Helen and I at the entrance to our Travel Trailer! We are wearing our Hands down shirts that Joanna and our grandkids made with their hand prints!
Lastly, the Thomas Family with an empty chair for Tasha who was off to a summer job and couldn't join us.
We hope you enjoyed this brief visit and recent update. I'll keep trying to do better so this is a fun and interesting place to see!
