Abraham to Lots of Newells (Part 1-through Isaac)

I’m just dumping this here in case I lose my hard drive – it would take considerable time to go through this whole list of Abraham’s descendants. I used this as my notebook in trying to figure out Layton’s father. Again, don’t try to read this: Original Abraham Newell born in 1555 in Ipswich,Continue reading “Abraham to Lots of Newells (Part 1-through Isaac)”

Ancestry: Laban Waterman

Laban is not a relative, but it is on his farm where Layton Newell most likely grew up, and he met his wife Marcy Winsor there. About the only reference we have to Layton’s being in Rhode Island is the reference in Laban’s will. He also had an infant son named Benoni which is whereContinue reading “Ancestry: Laban Waterman”

Ancestry: Intro

I’ve always been facinated by genealogy and people’s life stories. It’s interesting to see what your ancestors may have done, where they came from and what diverse backgrounds they have. I spent some time with my maternal grandpa and grandma looking into my mom’s ancestry and really enjoyed having that knowledge as we travelled to SwedenContinue reading “Ancestry: Intro”

Summer Vacation to the Black Hills

We went on our family vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Becky has a Yackley family reunion, so we were out there with all her sisters, brother, cousins and relatives. We traveled to Onida on Thursday night and headed to the Hills on Friday afternoon. We stopped into Pierre for lunch with Somer on our wayContinue reading “Summer Vacation to the Black Hills”

Intro to Theatre

For the past two weeks, my mom has been nice enough to take Katie and Amelia down to a class for 4-5 years called Intro to Theatre. There are about 7 kids in this class which ran from 12:30-1:30 each day and the kids get to act out parts of fairy tales and kids stories. Continue reading “Intro to Theatre”

Horse Riding

A few weeks ago, Uncle Dave and Auntie Alicia mentioned that we should come down some time in the summer to hang out at Alicia’s mom’s horse ranch. We thought that sounded like fun, but with a fairly busy schedule ahead of us this summer, we didn’t know when it was going to happen. Continue reading “Horse Riding”

Big Girls

On Fridays I typically have a little lighter meeting load at work, so I try to work from home whenever possible. This gives me a chance to get a lot of work done without any of the distractions at work, plus save an hour plus in drive time. When I work from home onContinue reading “Big Girls”
