Grandchildren Are Great!

.

[Day 3 Lion's Head Location Clue/Hint: The place where this lion's head exists has several buildings, with the newest building housing some very sensitive items that the building must maintain a constant temperature of about 70-72 degrees year around... the lion's head is on/in an older building See TSGS Cruiser Blog ~ http://tsgsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/guess-where-this-lions-head-is-located.html]




Here is a very proud grandmother with a new sweat shirt with the names of her grandchildren!

Becky West is showing off the gift from Halle & Evan she got late, last year. I thought this was good timing since my son & family are coming into Evansville to visit... they live near King's Island northeast of Cincinnati. With Memorial Day weekend coming up, I am sure many will have family reunions or other types of get togethers. This coming Sunday, my Selvin High School Freshman Class will have a class reunion (our small high school was closed due to statewide "consolidation" in 1962 making our class the last Selvin Freshman Class). Selvin is in northeastern Warrick Co., IN. Yellow Banks Park & Recreation Center is just north of Selvin... agreat place to enjoy Memorial Day weekend. Friday, Becky & I will be decorating graves of family members, a serious tradition (duty, actually) that Mom faithfully did each year to remember family that had passed on. I drove her around for years, so after she died I ended up doing this each year. Over the years, I have found new information about my family as I went from cemetery to cemetery.


I hope that everyone has a great Memorial Day and may you learn something new about your family history! - JGWest

My Grandson, Evan, graduated in June this summer...

and his family was there to celebrate the day! L-R: JJ West, Halle West, Evan West (the Graduate) and Christie West.
I post this photo to remind all of our genealogy friends that for special events like Easter, Memorial day, 4th. of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. and graduations, weddings & even funerals are good times to be with your families and learn about the living family, as well as, the ones that have passed on in time. Get family addresses, phone numbers and email - so you can keep in touch. Send your family members a brief history of the family as it relates to them... then keep them posted as to any changes or additions. Sharing with them may mean that, later, they will share with you.

Early Christmas with our grandchildren in Cincinnati 19 Dec 2009.
Evan West (4) is playing with the battery operated drum sticks that was surprisingly a very big hit!
Halle West (7 in Jan.) loves to read books and she liked this one on the planets of our solar system.



It is such a joy to see them enjoy some of the more basic things of life: music & books!

Remember the Tooth Fairy when we were kids?

My granddaughter just recently lost her first tooth and is quite proud of her advancement in the growing-up progress! My Grandson, Evan West (4 years old), asked me this past weekend, if I was his daddy's dad... and then asked if he was going to be a daddy someday! Let's mark this time as the beginning of his genealogical hobby.


Halle West & Tooth!

Both grandkids are growing-up very quickly and before we know it, they will start the next generation and the genealogist's story continues!
