Christmas Party at Bob's House

A fun scrabble game (on Grandma's very own scrabble board).

Owen LOVED Bob & Chris's dog. He can't even talk yet, but he was saying, "DOG!"

Project Scan is Under Way!

Hi everyone!

I finished scanning the North Hollywood Gleaner and M-Men album recently. There are so many fun pictures. I had fun finding Grandma and Grandpa in this group and thought I would share. I love the way people used to dress and do their hair!

Bob's pictures

Scanning is under way!

I'm feeling quite spoiled as I begin this project of scanning all of the beautiful records that Grandma & Grandpa kept. Not only did she keep a fantastic record, she organized photos into beautiful narrated albums that are so fun to look through.

Dad and Lisa and I have been going through the boxes and boxes of records. Lisa has scanned one of the military service albums and I've completed the "Wedding & Early Years" album. Here are a few pictures from that scrapbook. We'll continue to discuss ideas for how to distribute this best to all of you, and if you have suggestions, please let us know. For now, we're just scanning, scanning, scanning, taking care to scan at good resolution in jpg format (I'll create pdf files for each album once it's scanned for easy viewing).

You're gonna love looking through these albums!

Newest Barker addition

David and Robyn's newest baby will be another BOY (#4)! We are due around April 1st.

Thanks Jana!

Jana, this is a great idea - thanks for putting it together.

Here are some pictures we took last weekend.

A nice letter from Grandpa & Grandma's mission friends

Hopefully you can click on this to make it bigger and read it ... it really is very nice. It was received a few days ago at Grandpa's house.

Justin and Kaly

We just wanted to give an update on our situation. Justin has finally received a medical retirement for his back injury. The movers are coming this week to pack our house up and start moving it to Utah. We should be back in Sandy by Thanksgiving! And we are looking forward to seeing everyone again. Jace is doing well in his pre-school program. And Kalyn is doing very well also.

So exciting!

This is such an awesome idea! I can't wait to see how well this keeps us all connected.

KEEP IN TOUCH!!!

Dear wonderful family,

It has been so nice to see everyone this week!

I've been thinking ... it used to be that whenever I would go to visit Grandpa & Grandma, they would fill me in on everything that everyone in the family was up to. I would learn from them which of my cousins was expecting a baby, what jobs people were working, which kids were graduating, etc. I still want to keep up with those things. Therefore, I've created this blog. I hope you'll come here as often as you can so we can keep in touch with each other.

I will be the "administrator", but you are all set up as "authors" to this blog, so please hop on any time and post an update on yourself & your family. Please post pictures, stories, memories, whatever you want! I've created a list (on the sidebar) of family websites/blogs that I have addresses for, so you can easily come to this blog and search through the list to check on each family's happenings. Please e-mail me if you have a website/blog that I don't know yet and I'll add it. I'll also try to add photo slideshows, genealogy info, etc., as I get to it. jana.greenhalgh@gmail.com

Thanks for being such a cool family. I know Grandpa & Grandma want us to stay close, and maybe this can be one way to do that.

Love,
Jana

p.s. Email me with any suggestions or questions ... I'm not a crazy blogger (I just know the basics), but I'd be happy to learn new ways to improve our blog from those of you who are smarter than me.
