It's our anniversary!

Can you believe that it was two years ago that we started getting together online?

Happy 3rd Birthday Cassie

Cassie had a fun day with her friends and family, we are throwing her a party next weekend (a few people couldnt be here this weekend) I posted some new pics on my blog, hope you check it out. I cant believe how fast the time goes...

You Will Never Guess What Happened.

I Got Engaged

I asked Linsey Simpson (my girlfriend for the last 13 months) to marry me, and she said Yes!!!!

The Gathering Post

We're going to start a quarterly family newsletter, and the first issue will be going out within two weeks. It's going to be just one more way to keep in touch with each other. After all, not everyone has access and/or time to join us here on the family blog. (Personally I don't understand that, but I'll willing to be open minded. LOL)

If you have anything that you would like to share for the newsletter, please get it to me by Saturday, July 14th. (Anything sent after the 14th will be in the September issue.) Just as an idea of what we're looking for, the newsletter will include the following sections:

• Family Gathering updates - all the information to date regarding the 2008 gathering.
• Family News- we want share information on babies, weddings, jobs, moves, school, etc.
  
• Genealogy Notes - since it's all about family, let's talk about the family founders.
• Fun Stuff - stories, jokes, "remember when's," anything else we can come up with.

Also, if you did not get a letter about the photo DVD (or know anyone who did not get a letter), please send me updated addresses. We want everyone to get a copy of the newsletter! You can email me at slkilbride *at* gmail *dot* com. Or contact Danielle, my partner for the newsletter!

Do you noodle?

Because Gramma does!

Mom (April), Gramma (Marion), and I went over to Peanut Island for the afternoon. We had a wonderful time, and can’t wait to have a family picnic there! (You can also camp on the Island, and I’m thinking that it would be fun to get several of us there for a weekend. Anyone up for that?)

Anyway, while we were waiting for the water taxi to take us to the island, we met up with a group of young people who had already begun to empty their coolers. They laughingly offered us a noodle, probably figuring that none of us would even know what a noodle was. As far as mom and I went, they were correct. Gramma, however, totally blew them out of the water by taking them up on their offer. They ended up adopting Gramma, and we were invited to hang with them for the day.

Family Gathering CD

After almost a year, the photo CD of our first "Family Gathering" is finally finished! We had five six photographers, and over 1250 photos. It was really difficult, but I managed to get it down to just a 40 minute slide show. I want to thank everyone that helped -- you're all mentioned in the show's credits.

I'll be sending out emails and/or letters with your chance to get a copy of the CD. If you don't hear from me in the next two weeks, please feel free to just email or call me and ask for your copy. (I might not have current addresses for everyone).

Final Results for 3 Truths and A Fib

We ended up with six entries for this game, and the following people are official members of the Neuhaus Liar's Club: Charlie, Bobby, Kelly, April, Sam, and myself (Sandi).

Unfortunately, Bobby, Kelly, April and Sam are also members of the Neuhaus Procrastinator's Club, so we don't know what their fib was. So results were based only on the two three entries we had answers for (I know my mom's fib, so I went ahead and counted that.)

Nobody guessed correctly for my four items, which makes me the best fibber. Charlie was runner-up with only 1 out of 3 correctly guessing. April was 3rd with half of the guessers getting it right.

For best guesser, the results were: Kelly and I each had one right guess, which actually was enough to make us the winners. Charlie, Bobby, and Gail gave it a good try, but were unable to figure out when a fib was being told so they get the Trusting Soul award.

Maybe we'll have another contest later on this summer. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

W.W.R.S.*

I picked up Aunt Robin at the airport this afternoon, and she is now up at mom's in Port St. Lucie. We had a wonderful evening, chatting and laughing and comparing arm pits (you really had to be there!).

I'm not sure what the day-to-day plans are, but Robin will be down here until the 30th. So if any of the Florida folk want to get together, just give us a hollar. We really should do something spectacular for Memorial Day weekend...

[*what would Robin say?]

It's time to 'fess up!

Please go back to your original posts, and add a comment admitting with of your four items is the fib. As soon as we hear from everyone, I'll let you know who the winners are for this game.

Last chance to guess the fibs!

If you haven't figured out everyone's facts and fibs yet, this weekend is your last chance. We'll start "fessing up" on Monday.

Even if you haven't posted your own 3 Truths and A Fib, go ahead and take a guess at the ones already up (Sandi, Charles, Bobby, Kelly, April, and Samantha). Then check back later on this week to see the winners!
