Time Flies When You're Trying to Have Fun

I enjoy reading blogs, catching up on the news and ideas of friends and family. I haven't been diligent in doing my own though.

Much has happened in the past couple of years. I have a new daughter-in-law, a new grandson, a new soon-to-be son-in-law, a couple of trips out west, lots of trips here and there with my friend, Peggy, and the list goes on.

Ryan married Deirda Hopkins in December 0f 2007 in th3e Washgton DC temple. Deidra's family is from Philadelphia and that is where both her parents and Fred and I were married. It was a memorable ceremony as Dee was suffering from the flu that day and you can imagine the worst. Yes, she was ill at the end of the ceremony.

Kellie and Alex made us proud grandparents on May 3, 2009. Little Owen Alexander Lambert has been a pure delight. Fred, Shaun and I all the the opportunity to visit them (at different times) this past summer and the whole family came home for Tnanksgiving this past fall. It is hard being a grandparent living so far away. It is more exciting each telephone call as Owen and I have quite the googoo conversations.

I'll post pictures shortly.

Until then
