FAMILY GET-TOGETHER

Hello everyone!

Tammi and I chatted a bit yesterday and first off, I would like to congratulate our cousin Samantha (Kipper's daughter, for those of you who may not know) on the birth of her new baby :) Hope all is going well and would love to see some pictures!

Next, Tammi and I were talking about getting everyone together in July 2010. Blair and his family are planning to be in the states for a few weeks then and it would be the perfect time to get all of us together. So ... thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Let's do this!!

Love to all

Hello lovely family!!

I realize that some of you may be new to blogging and might benefit from a little tutorial on how to post your very own blog! So, here's the step by step ...

1. Go to www.passarellafamily.blogspot.com
2. Sign in (in the upper right hand corner)
2.5 Enter your email address and password
3. A screen will pop up saying "manage blogs" and FAMILY underneath.
4. Click on the blue rectangle that says "new post"
5. Type a loving message to your family ... and include pictures by clicking the "add image" button on the menu bar. (it's next to spell check)

Make sure you are an author on the blog because if you're not yet, this won't work. You should still be able to post a comment though!

Alright, I'm sending lots of love from rainy and wet Portland, Oregon to all of you back east (and mid-west and south and everywhere around the world!)
