Family Photo Album

Our son, Daniel, has given us a wonderful gift over the past three and one-half years. He created and has maintained a website that has allows the family to post pictures, especially those of our grandchildren. We have also shared old family photos on this site. It truly has become the family photo album.

Visiting this website daily keeps us in touch with our children and grandchildren. We feel very present in their lives as we view their latest smiles, activities and antics. It enhances our distant grandparenting as we get to know each child. And, what a morale booster in the midst of an overwhelming day to click on a cute picture! Not only do we enjoy this, but also our extended family in distant places finds pleasure in logging on to this site. It certainly helps us all stay connected. Being family in the 21st Century is not easy, but has some interesting new ways to strengthen the ties. Thanks to Daniel and Shannon we constantly have new images and insights of our grandchildren and other family members.
