Shumway life

Cute little Ellie

Recent snow day

I've caved to pressure to start a blog. I know it comes as a shock to many, but we (Randy and I) are not great at keeping up communication. I hope this blog bridges some of the gap. As a quicky synopsis, here are a few of the fun things we have been up to in the past six months:
  • Ian returning from his mission (He's going to the University of Utah and living at home right now - the kids LOVE it and so do we).
  • Eleanor Kate was born on August 31st. She's a spitting image of Tyler and has the personality of all the other little Shumways - active and happy.
  • Fun trips to Yellowstone for snowmobiling and a Disney Cruise and Disney World (by far the most fun vacation we've taken to date).
  • Juggling life with five kids (yes, Ian's a kid still) and a dog.
I'll post some more later, but I am really tired and have to get up and do the carpool routine tomorrow.

Yeah! We are excited about your blog. Now we can see more of your kids...since we are such slackers!

Way to go - that wasn't so hard, was it?

I just heard via email from Annalise Eccles... did you know she's having a 5th baby boy induced tomorrow???

Isn't amazing how much life can pass you by without even realizing it! :)

Yep, gorgeous grandchildren. Great idea.

I agree. Wonderful, beautiful grandchildren.

I thought your blog would be all pictures of Safari. How disappointing. Poor Ian must be sad that you didn't love him enough to put a picture of him:)

Love your BLOG!

Love

I am so glad you are doing a blog Maureen! Your kids have grown-up so much! Now, hopefully between our blogs and actually living within 10 minutes of each other we can actually keep in better touch and see each other more often!
