Christine Convices Parents To Join The 21st Century

Christine convinced us how easy it would be to keep in touch with everyone on a consistent basis via a blog on the computer. She has done a great job with hers and I encourage all of you to check it out and see some great pictures of our two wonderful awesome grandkids! You can find it at cswcook.blogspot.com.

I'll try and keep it as updated as possible so that you can keep up with what is happening in our lives. So much is changing so quickly and it looks like it is going to keep going that direction over the next few years.

Daniel is off to College down at SUU in Cedar City, Utah. He will be leaving on a mission next May. Jason is a Junior in High School and Christine and Brad are close by with two great boys that bring a lot of joy to all of us.

Scott and I just keep getting older and fatter, but we are loving life and everything that is happening to us.

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
