Four Generations-Christmas Eve

Thanksgiving-2011

Thanksgiving with the Northern Cannons

Lindey and Chris were great host

Dinner was awesome-The rain fell all day

Friday the sun came out (a small miracle in

Washington) and we headed to Mount Saint Helen

But the snow kept us from getting up close and personal

Rich and Maria-note Mountain in background

Yeah, She is out for us to see

The Cannon clan on a hike

Hunter-happy moment with Dad

Born to run free-Keep smiling

Doesn't get much prettier than this

Counting our blessings

Shelley and Chris

Saturday-riding the ferry to Seattle-the rain has stopped

Thanks, Chris and Lindey for a great weekend

Maisy

"Occupy Angie" Movement Comes to an End

Nate and Angie are the proud parents of a new baby girl. Maisy Cannon was 9 days late, but finally made her grand entrance on Thursday November 17th. She weighs 9 lbs 1 oz and has a nice head of black hair (hopefully curly so she can be in the "Curly Hatch Cousin" photos).

New England

I thought I'd add some of my picture to the Blog

You can see that Vermont is still recovering, I'm glad we went, tourism seems

to have suffered and they needed visitors. We did not have any crowd or traffic.

I think we met all our goals, Covered bridges? pumkins? lighthouse's?

Moose? colorful leaves? Lobster?

Lots of water in New England, a little rainy, but that did not stop

the hikes through the colorful forest.

Color....check

The "SUN" (yeah) starting to come out, Rangel range

New England

The destruction from Hurricane Irene was widespread in Vermont, but we were amazed at all the roads that had been rebuilt in only a few weeks time.  New Englanders from all surrounding states came to pitch in to help.

 Diane had a thing for cemeteries, so we stopped often to observe the tombstones of those from the past

 We came across a delightful little town along the coast of Maine that was having a pumpkin carving contest with HUGE pumpkins
