Baby Jonathan

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you are enjoying your holiday.

Just an update. This is Jonathan Jason Ewell. He was born to Jason and Sarah on Tuesday, December 16 at 8:32 p.m. He weighed 7 lb 4 oz and is 20 inches long. They are enjoying their adventure as new parents.

Holiday Fun

Merry Christmas everyone. For those of you in Utah, here are some ideas to help you know what to do in the snow.

Red Light Green Light

Barry, Colette and their daughter Diana came from Utah to visit family in Arizona. During their visit, all of the Arizona gang got together and had dinner at Cafe Rio. We met at Uncle Glen's house so he could show the improvements made to the house and then we caravaned over to the restaurant. It seemed that Barry always got caught on the red light. He had three choices: to get left behind, to get in an accident or to run the red light. Well after running the third red light in a row the police finally caught up to him.

Barry was lucky because the police officer let him off for being from Utah and for being the last one in the caravan line.

While the Ewell family was in Arizona, Barry taught four genealogy classes at a convention. Barry and Colette are getting ready to launch http://www.mygenshare.com/. Check it out. It should be up and running in a couple of months.

Here are some photos from Saturday night. Hope you enjoy.

Charlie

Taft and I had dinner at Levi and Tara's apartment and introduced Kayla to Charlie, their dog. They became fast friends, probably because they are about the same size. We are glad to have family here in Arizona.

New Blog

Hello Family,

Welcome to our new blog. This is a way for us to keep in touch with one another. Uncle Rand had the initial idea, but he was hesitant to use blogger because it was public for everyone to see. There is a way to make our blog private, so you can only invite those whom you want to share our blog with. You can see on the main page I have made the link to my blog, which is private and Melissa and Eric Green's blog is public.

Our main blog site could be either private or public. I would like to know your opinion on this decision. It will be up to the individual families if you want to make your personal blog site private. The Rosenbaum side is getting quite large, so this family blog is a way to keep in touch.

We will soon have four new additions to the family with Spencer's, Danial's, Austin's and Jason's wives all pregnant with babies. Actually, Spencer's wife gave birth to a boy on October 21, 2008.

Blogging is fun and very easy. Once you have completed the instructions in the e-mail I sent you and have created your own family blog, send me the link and I will upload your blog to this main web page, just as I have linked Melissa's, Rainy's and mine. After you have e-mailed me your new blog link, I will e-mail instructions on how to make your personal site private.

I am excited to keep in touch.

Wedding

Levi and Tara were married in July. Tara's family flew in from Michigan and all of Levi's brothers were there to participate in the happy event. It was fun to see everyone together.

This photo is a sample of what we can do. I asked Levi and Tara for permission to post this photo of their wedding. The blog is meant to share special events like this or everyday adventures. If you don't want to set up a blog, you can just e-mail me the photo and the message you want to go a long with the photo and I will post it on the main family blog. You can do as much or as little as you want.
