Reid (no middle name yet), was born about 6:30 this evening! 8lbs. 8oz., 21in. long. Both Mom and baby are fine. Dawn says he might be a red-head…the name kinda fits. Hope Charlotte doesn’t mind sharing her birthday!
Sweet Gifts
The Utah Falls were the lucky recipients of some pretty tasty gifts this Christmas. Check it out…Gary sent Lisa a spectacular photo book – National Geographic “Greatest Places.†500 pages of awesome contemporary pics from around the globe. Really cool stuff. And it benefits UNICEF. Way to go, Gary! Can’t go wrong with photos. The gift I got was aimed straight at the gut. Crème-filled Cupcakes, Butterscotch Krimpets, Peanut Butter KandyKakes (still the best)…there’s even some new thing – Crème-filled Coffee Cakes. I’m saving that for last. I’ve used my power of deduction to conclude these came from UncleLar, it didn’t really say. (If I’m wrong about that I apologize to the giver). Anyway, UncLar – sweet job. They will be devoured in a most appreciative way. I’m thinking tomorrow’s lunch is a Chocolate Junior. Happy New Year,
Kenny & Lisa
P.S. – Gary…very nice Christmas Card post. Setting the bar pretty high!
Merry Christmas
Christmas Card Hype
Just wanted to post a little retrospective of past NJ Falls’ Xmas cards. I’ve got a new one coming, and really think y’all will like it, so I wanted to create a little “buzz” for the debut.
I figure I’ll post the new one Xmas Eve, unless the public outcry for a preview becomes overwhelming, in which case I might release the digital version early.
e-Boy Gets a Job
Big soccer news out of the state of Utah. While his Dad was helping lead the Judge Memorial Girl’s soccer team to a state title, Elliot scores a full-time gig with a Major League Soccer Club. Real (pronounced “ray-al”, like the Madrid club) Salt Lake has hired the boy to work in their Marketing/Communications Department. Hey that’s two Fall’s (Gary) working for a major league team…though the Yankees and oft-losing RSL exist on opposite ends of the sports spectrum.
RSL finished it’s third year here, and failed to make the playoffs again. Elliot had an internship this past season (April to Oct) and they loved having him…hired him first chance they got. His title is now Public Relations Coordinator – e-mail efall@realsaltlake.com He’ll stay in school and work part-time til the ’08 season starts. After he earns his degree (economics ) in May he starts full-time at the club.
He’s pictured here holding up the Rocky Mountain Cup trophy, making the trip to Colorado where RSL beat the Rapids to win their annual competition.
Meanwhile, the Judge Memorial Girl’s team (I’m still assistant coach) startled the Utah high school scene by going on a blistering run through the playoffs – giving up just one goal in four games – to capture the state title. The team had begun the season 1-6, but turned things around and beat three number one seeds to win State. It’s our third state championship in six years.
My Favorite Picture!
I had planned on posting pictures of Blake’s first birthday, but we’ll have to wait a little longer for that. I can’t find them! I thought they had been uploaded to our new computer, but they aren’t. Steve is in Hong Kong & India on business and has our camera with the disk, so…blah, blah, blah. Instead, I’ll post my favorite picture of Blake…he was all sweaty with his hair slicked back but he looks so cute. By the way, Larry, you’re probably the only family member who doesn’t know this, but Dawn is pregnant again. She’s due March 3rd with another boy. How about some Penn State memorabilia if the baby is born on your birthday, the 2nd? Chris’ family has bombarded Blake with University of Illinois stuff and Dawn really wants to get the competition going. Can you help?

Gary’s 50th Birthday Bash
Better late than never. October is such a busy, fun-filled month for us; Steve’s father’s birthday, Steve’s birthday and Blake’s birthday so we’re having a party and even a play ground for the kids from www.softplaydesignandinstallation.co.uk. But best of all this year, was getting together with family to celebrate Gary’s 50th. My pictures are a little out of focus (hopefully Kenny & Gary have better), but I thought my few pictures might get the ball rolling with others posting theirs.
The first two pictures are from our evening at Havana’s. The third is a shot of the Neshaminy Creek in Chalfont from the bridge (remember when it was an old wooden bridge?). The last is one of the covered bridges we visited.
