Merry Christmas and we wish you the best in 2015. We hope the holiday season allows you chance to connect with the ones you love.

Merry Christmas from the Newells
I was too busy (lazy) to write a Christmas card on time – frankly I couldn’t think of any interesting way to write it. After seeing all the cards come in, I thought it would be good to reflect on the year – even in a unoriginal way. Amelia turned 4 in February and weContinue reading “Merry Christmas from the Newells”
Halloween 2010
It seems like every year, Halloween gets more and more involved. All of these pumpkin patches have sprung up around the area, so the build-up to Halloween now includes: Buying Halloween Costumes (we usually go to one of the custom stores, but we actually found Wal-Mart to be cheaper and they still had a decentContinue reading “Halloween 2010”

I have been working with a couple WordPress blogs for the community of Barnesville, so I’ve gotten to be somewhat familiar with the application – it’s very easy to use and there are lots of features, so this is aContinue reading “Blog transition”
Potato Days 2010 – Stoneridge Road
Last year, I volunteered to work at our church’s barbeque stand at the Potato Days Food Court on Friday night. While I was there, I could hear a guy playing music from the main stage. I went out to look and no one was really watching him. He was playing guitar and singing but mostContinue reading “Potato Days 2010 – Stoneridge Road”
Our Little Videos from our Italy trip
When we were on the trip, we decided to try to make some quick videos with updates on what we were up to. The two goals were that we would post them to the Internet right away so the girls could get video updates from us, and that we’d have them to look back on ourContinue reading “Our Little Videos from our Italy trip”
