Winter in New England

Well, we are ~ halfway through the winter here in New England. It hasn't been as cold or ar miserable as last year. (no ice storm yet and not too may "snowdays") In the next couple of weeks the maple starts to flow. Clint and Alexis want to tap a few trees around the area and boil their own syrup. It takes ~40-60 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Clint won't eat any syrup. He says it is VILE. (IT IS) it should be an interesting experience.

Our trip to Ireland was great. jwphoto.smugmug.com has thousands of photos.

Gus is a little terror, but he is so cute I let him get away with everything. You should see those eyes. He knows how to play me.

I will update more later.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

Happy 19th Birthday #9.

Last but Certainly Not Least!

For the past few years Jason has wanted me to start a family newsletter so that we can stay in touch with the going's on of the whole family. We often feel so disconnected to those that we don't see on a regular basis. My hope is that this blog will be of good use to try and bring our family a little closer, no matter how far the distance between us all.

I would like to have others contribute to this blog as well. As it is our "Warner Family" blog. It is really easy to do and I even plan on teaching Mom how to do it as well. I would like to know what things are going on with the "Texas Warners" and the "New Hampshire Warners" as well as those of us still here on the homefront. I plan on posting everything from birthdays to Jr. jazz schedules to who is in charge of home evening the next Sunday. I am hoping that others will catch on and start to add their little bits to this as well.

One thing that Jason and I have considered a high priority in our marriage is having our kids know their Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I feel pretty lucky that they know a majority of them but there are still some that we don't see all that often and I would really like to try and build more of a connection with. I know that Mom and Dad would love to be able to see what is going on with their large brood as well.

No matter how far we all may travel or roam we are still part of the same family. Ours is an eternal family and even though we may not see each other very often we can still remain close. I hope that this blog will help us to do so.
