My tag picture

My tag picture, as requested by Lana.

This family picture was taken in Texas on Christmas 2001. We only had one grandchild, Ethan, born August 10, 1998, two sons-in-law, Christopher William Campbell and Porter William Shumway (yes, they both have the same middle name). Erlynne and Chris lived in Allen, Tx, Dallin lived and worked in the Dallas area, Clark had flown from Provo, Ut. where he was working for Novell, Lana and Porter had flown from Mesa, AZ to spend Christmas with us, and Staci was still in high school.
I was still putting henna on my hair and wearing it long and curly, Lana was doing hair in Mesa, and Staci had just got a short cut. The photo was taken at JCPenney at the mall near I-35 and Hebron, 25 minutes from our house. It was the only studio big enough to hold our growing family.
Currently, we have added to our family: Tatum Shumway was born Feb. 28, 2003, Tristan Campbell was born May 23, 2003.
Clark picked Guinevere Thomas for our new daughter-in-law, married November 18, 2005.
Dane Shumway was born June 1, 2006, and Benjamin Woolstenhulme was born to Clark and Guinevere on January 18, 2007.
Staci picked Eric Dalton Avarell to be our final son-in-law, married August 30, 2007.
And adding shortly to the growing family members, Lana and Porter will have their third child May 5, 2009, and Staci and Eric will have their first baby May 22, 2009.
(Sorry, Staci, I couldn't wait any longer for you to post your announcement on your blog site.)
Life is ALL ABOUT FAMILY, and I love mine beyond words. Lana, thanks for picking me to blog the this picture. Fond memories.
I pick Robin Garner Madenford to tag. Robin, go to your computer pictures folder, select the third folder, third picture, post it to your blog site and write about it.
