Introduction

This is an introduction to The Family Blog.  On these pages, it is our desire to allow all our family members to post the everyday, the interesting, the mundane, the exciting, and the routine adventures of their lives for the other members of the family, nuclear and extended, to enjoy.

The oldest members on this blog are Carol Crawford Rowe and Abigail Elizabeth Reynolds.  It was Carol who suggested that we begin this project and Abigail who put the initial pieces together.

We will also, hopefully, hear from time to time from the older members, namely Abby’s Mom (Joan), Kevin Shaw’s Mom (Connie), and Sarah Rowe’s Mom (Sharry) and Dad (Duane).  They are happily invited and warmly welcomed into the dialog.

Don’s and Linda’s Mom is  Carol.  Abigail is the parent of Paul and Jon, Aaron and Katy.

Don and Sarah Rowe, along with their three sons, Caleb, Nathan, and Micah live in Rippon, CA.  Don is Pastor of Calvary Church in Rippon.   Sarah is an aide at the local elementary school.

Linda and Kevin Shaw, along with their three children, Deuce, Kenneth, and Lizzy live in Wellington, FL.  Kevin and Linda both teach at the King’s Academy School.

Paul Ward is a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Utah.  Jon Fjeldstad lives and works in Norway.  Aaron is a freshman at the University of Pittsburg in Pittsburg, KS.   Katy is a senior at the Southeast High School in Cherokee, KS.

From here, we shall begin telling the stories and sharing the adventures of life, wherever they may take us.  So sit back and enjoy the ride as our family shares with one another.
