Thorpe Family

Savannah's Birthday

Savannah Cheshire celebrated her 10th birthday yesterday with a big family gathering at Chuck O Rama.  Great fun was had by all.

Below are a few photos from the event.

Gray Night

We had the Gray Clan out for dinner this evening.  We missed Gary and Sue because Sue had a car accident this week and is still recovering (she may require another [her fourth] surgery on her shoulder to repair the damage.

Jim and Sue made it out; Scott represented Whitney; Kensley brought her boys and we visited Brad at work after dinner.  Fun evening--especially with Dayton in town!

Conference with the Grays

Today, Gail and I attended the afternoon session of LDS General Conference with some of Gail's family, including Scott and Whitney Christopherson (Whitney is Gail's niece), Kensley Cheshire (Gail's niece) and Jim Gray (Gail's brother). 

It was a great session and I can't think of much better family activities.  These days, I seem to stay in touch with my nieces and nephews through their blogs more than through "traditional" interaction.  There are some up sides to this.  People seem less inhibited about telling the whole world on a blog how they think and feel than they are about telling their aunts and uncles.

And, yes, this is a shameless attempt to better connect with the "younger generation."

Please forgive the poor photo quality--I'm actually pleased with these images from my Blackberry.
