Hi all,

This is a first for me. I read Kimberlie's Blog, but haven't actually tried the process. I think this is a GREAT idea Melanie.. Thanks for doing the work. The site looks great.
The Darwin Nielsen family had a fun Christmas, hope all of you did too.


Kimberlie and Nate leave this Friday (Jan 2nd 2008) to California for a 3 month internship (With my grandson!!!), which may very likely put them back there for good in a year when Nate graduates.

Ryan is officially engaged, so we'll be having a May wedding. Julia will make a very wonderful addition to our family.

We added a Christmas puppy. Whitney and Sarah did to me what I did to Mom and Dad. "The only thing I want for Christmas is a puppy." It worked for me with my soft hearted mom. . . so what could we do.. Arrghh. I've pondered....perhaps that puppy "Oakie" as well as the little bird I got for me in August are direct results of me being too far away from Boston, my grandson :) I might have to move to California :)

  1. Good to hear from you! I would be so very sad if Lindsay and David took my sweet Logan several states away from me - even if it was only for 3 months. What is Kimberly's last name and would she mind posting her blog address on this site. Go to "We are family" on the sidebar and add it under my name which is a link to my blog. Thanks!

  2. Hey Laurie...what a cute grandson you have! What did they name him? I'm very glad all four of mine live close by. I don't blog either, although I read several/day to keep up with people, so this is new to me, too. I think it's a wonderful idea for a family to keep in touch.
