Hello friends and family! As you can see, it has been 2 years since anyone has added to our family blog. OOPS! Megan set it up for us, and I am JUST BARELY becoming computer literate and expanding my technical horizons, foraying into the blogger territory ever so gently! I am hoping to upload some recent pics. Much has happened over the past two years. I will update with highlights as I can recall:
July 2008 - We moved from our previous home 3 blocks away into our new home. David wanted a pool, and we found a lovely home with a small pool.
We have enjoyed putting our home together. We did some remodeling during the first six months of ownership. We have enjoyed the additional space, and hope to fill it with college children bringing their friends home, friends and family coming to stay, and grandchildren :)
During fall/winter of 2009/2010 we had our nephew Steven McCombs from Ajijic, Mexico come and live with us, attending his first year of HS. He and Connor are the same age, so they braved their freshman year together. We loved having him live with us and were sad to see him go in June of 2010.
As you can see in the above picture, in June of 2010 our son in law, Owen graduated from UCSD with his Masters Degree in Business. We are so proud of him, and happy for both he and Megan to be finished with school! They are both working and expecting their first child in April 2011!
Our darling daughter, Hillary Mae accepted a call to serve as a proselyting missionary to the Chile, Concepcion Mission. She reported to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah March 3,2010. She will serve until September 2011. We have LOVED receiving weekly email from her. She absolutely loves what she is doing, loves the people, and is enjoying this new adventure in her life.
We found a darling cabin in Lake Arrowhead, CA! We purchased it in March and have been remodeling it since then! It is almost finished. We absolutely loved celebrating July 4th holiday at the Lake. A barge of fireworks was pulled out onto the lake, and a fantastical fireworks display commenced and lasted for about 20 minutes. David, Connor and Katherine have enjoyed their new found sport/love! Motorcycles and exploring the many motorcycle trails winding through the San Bernardino mountain tops. I hope to get some pics on here soon!
That is a lot of updating in one sitting. Hope to be able to update more frequently. Would love to hear from any of our friends and family who blog!
