Maya Elizabeth Chamberland

Here's our new granddaughter, Maya, pronounced Mi-a.

Katie had an unexpected c-section early Thurs am. I was shocked to see all this hair as she's had a little hat on since she was born.

Send this link to everyone.

Do you suppose that we should go ahead and send out this website to the other cousins? (I mean the original 12.) Both Carole and Sue are interested in looking at the site. Sue was not sure if she was computer savvy enough for this, but with the link it was pretty easy. I am not sure if you have all of the addresses.

Dave and Marianne - m.conner@acelere.net
Sue and Wayne - wsc917@charter.net

When I think about it, these are the only cousins other than the Hills (whose addresses you have) and the O'Harras (likewise).Sue called tonight and I talked to Carole today. It looks like we are going ahead with the Lithia Park reservation for Sat. afternoon. Karen Sue Fieguth another cousin) works for the City of Ashland and she has a lot of insight and pull. Carole is making some calls this week about lodging.Thanks again for all of your help!Shannon

Plans from Shannon

This is great. I love the pictures. Thanks Fishers for the blog.

Carole and I met today at Lindsay's lacrosse game (They won 22-15) and she will be making some phone calls this week about possible hotel/camping accommodations.

I hope I have set this up correct as a "follower."Shannon

Test of the Followers

Okay, I signed in on the Blog page "Followers". Now, will it notify me each time something is posted, or do I have to check it myself?
Hopeful rainbows for everyone, Becky Beckett

1st Annual Hill Cousin Reunion

This is a SAVE THE DATE notice for the 1st Annual Hill Cousin Reunion.

For a little background, it has been 6 months since my mother, Olive Hill O'Harra passed away. Though the occasion was very sad, it brought together a large group of cousins, "kissin' cousins" and "shirttail cousins" that decided it was time to get together this summer for a much happier occasion. After much triangulating and calendar searching, a date and location was reached and now the party planning begins.......

DATES: AUGUST 28 - 30, 2009
LOCATION: UNCLE DALE's HOUSE will be the Headquarters MEDFORD, OREGON

COMMITTEE:

Becky Hill Beckett
Carole Conner
Sue Chamberland
Shannon Pearce
and of course, any other cousins that want to help.
Please send this message out to all of your families and other cousins that should be included. More details will be forthcoming, but felt that it was extremely important to get the date out to everyone, so it can be inked in on the calendar.
Please forward any additional emails that should be put on this master list. Looking forward to seeing everyone this summer in the Rogue Valley.
