Meet the Family - Grandson, "Buddy"

"I'm now almost 4-1/2 mths. old and just getting more handsome every day. At least that's what grandma & grandpa say!"

"I'm 4 mnths old and still a happy boy. Especially when I'm at Grandma and Grandpa's house!!"

"Spending some time with my mommy on

her lunch hour. Since I was only 3 mths. old,

grandma had to drive me there."

"We are just two tired,
but handsome dudes!"








"Grandpa took me to my
first Tigers' game. I was 2 mths. old."












"My first trip to King's Island
@ 5 wks. old. Can't you tell that
I really had a good time?"


"Grandma thinks I'm pretty special."

"You people make me tired."

(Grandpa & "Buddy")

"Who are all these people looking at me?"

Day 1 - Just chillin' after all that hard work!

Meet the Family - Son, Austin

I just had to throw this one in.
Can you find Austin??
This was the 1st year of his
career as a baseball player.
(He's the cute one in the
2nd row... 2nd from left.)

Kristen Fox.

This is just one of many great pics that Ryan Watters

(cousin) shot for Austin's senior poses.

Austin, with two of his buddies,

Michael Miller and Michael Maloyed.

(They call themselves "The Triple Threat",

when it comes to playing basketball together.)

They were enjoying their trip to the ACE

International Student Convention, held in

Flagstaff, AZ. May 2007

Meet the Family - Husband, James

I thought that I would start by posting a few pictures of each of my family members.

These two pics are of James and his "babies". Sasha is a year old now. She was a birthday present for James in Nov. '07. Sasha just recently gave birth to 7 puppies. Anyone looking for a pet??

The other is "Buddy", now 4 mths. old, taking in the bright lights at the Hillsdale County Fair. He was just fasinated by the lights of the ferris wheel etc.

This is a start. I think I'm set up and ready to go. But since it's very late (or should I say early @ 2:56 a.m.??), I'll have to actually sit down another time and get this "blogging stuff" rolling. I know, I know... it's about time!
Give me a few days... I'll be back.
