First edition Our Family News

Cyndi Cook has inspired me with her blogs. I'm not going to try to match her skills, but am going to attempt to keep you informed of our family happenings with these little blogs. To catch up, I'm going to start with some events early in the year.

We had our annual Easter egg hunt with my brothers and sisters. Here are a few pic's...
