Family Picture

The Jones Ober Smith Clan. Having the Smith across the street from my parents has been very cool. It is almost like the old days when we would all gather at Grandmother and Daddy George's House in Longview. Almost!

Christmas 2004

Amy, Jen, Mom and me at my parents for Christmas. This was Amy's first christmas with the clan.

Winter Wonderland

Amy, her sister and I stayed over the last night and left the next morning. When we got up we discovered a pristine white world. I could not have asked for a better trip to the great white north. Amy does look beautiful in front of the lovely white background.

Bonfire!

As is the Andrews family tradition Uncle Bill, Jim and I burned down the entire woods!

Amy during the first snow fall

It really began to snow on Thanksgiving. What luck considering Amy and I have not seen snow in years.

Jim and I

Amy's family have a super nice lake house in upper Wisconsin which they call Shin'Gwak O-Na-Yash or Shingles for short. Shingles is located near Mercer, Wi on Spider Lake. Funny enough it is on Jones road. I guess I was destined to go there. (46 13' 13.68" N 90 01' 45.30" W)
