Pictures and stories of our dear family and friends
I know it’s been quiet here at RVthereyet, but believe me, life at Conrad Central has been anything but! It’s been full of giggles and laughter, intense game playing and baby squeals. So far I’ve only taken about 250 pictures…..but here is the best one of our family shots for 2008.
Tomorrow the house begins to empty, so maybe I’ll have a moment to get some more uploaded.
Happy New Year!!!
One. Una. Une. Satu. Bat. Ein. Ume.
Where did THAT year go???
Madelyn Saige Conrad – Hope you have a wonderful first birthday! We love you and miss you !
Hugs and Kisses,
Grams and Pops
I have been so busy rambling on about Pike’s Peak, Shelf Roads, Garden of the Gods, volcanos and camels in the fields of Texas, I have been remiss about posting updates and pictures of my beautiful granddaughters! Why didn’t anyone speak up?
Ellie has started Kindergarten!!!!
When did that happen?????
Not only were Mom and Dad trying to adjust to this new phase in their lives – but little sister Hayley was having a hard time watching her go….
Me too, me too. I want to go too!!!!!
But there were some changes in store for little Hayley too-
Remember this? –
Well, she has a new look these days –
Quite a change!
And the littlest one? She’s going to be one in a month. ONE!!!! Toby says Maddie is doing new things everyday – walking along the furniture, walking behind her little walk-behind thing (what are they called?), and generally being delightful.
Yes, I can see the delightful!
And a final picture of the three of them –
Ah, sisters!!!!
Oh, how we miss them!
Before I start collecting and sharing pictures and stories from our current project and location, there are just a couple of loose ends to wrap up –
Gary’s Project –
OK, so there is still plenty to do (cleaning, plumbing, LANDSCAPING, furnishing), but this little trailer is definitely on its way to being a pretty nice place to stay.
Nice job, honey!
A Bump in the Road –
Don’t you just love understated road signs?
BUMP?
Have you ever seen this at a Post Office before? I wonder what the story here is?
And I wonder who took the hook!
A Heavy Thank-you
Over the last four years of doing SOWER projects we’ve gotten all kinds of “thank-yous†– mugs, flashlights, T-shirts (LOTS of T-shirts), even a plaque. But this is the first time we’ve gotten a rock!
Looks like an alligator, doesn’t it? Our very own pet rock!
Oh – one more thing!
These pictures are a little hard to post because
1. It’s almost 100 degrees outside and these pictures involve a SWEATER.
2. This cute baby boy is not my grandchild. (But he is my great nephew!)
But cute is cute – and I couldn’t resist posting these pictures of little Stephen Fitzpatrick posing in the sweater and hat that his second-cousin (?) Lara knit for him!
How cute is THAT!
Tomorrow (Monday) we start working at our August project – Ecclesia College in Springdale, Arkansas. I think I’ll be working in the office (yea!!! Air conditioning!), but the guys will be working on some dorm remodeling. We can only hope for A/C for him!
Hope you had a good weekend!
