Olds Family History

Well as most of you may know now I have been researching our family History and I found some more information on Grandma Valeria Ruth Anderson's side of the family. Her family name is Olds. They came from Minnesota and as far back as New York. The family info that I found was on a couple of websites. There are some good little articles that explain about the towns that they lived in and shows the records from a church that Grandma and her family was baptized at. Below are the Hyperlinks and I hope that you all enjoy them. If anyone knows anymore information please let me know so we can get our family history completed.

Anderson Family History

The past couple of weeks I have been really interested in my family history. It all started when my friend told me about getting his Line of Authority which I really wanted so I ordered a copy of it. I was unsure of a few names on there so I researched them and asked my dad. As I was conducting my research I decided that it was time to get some genealogy work started. I started by looking up my grandpa Thomas Leroy Anderson Sr and from there I was able to trace our family back pretty far into the 15 and 1600s. It was really neat to see the transition between generations and all the silly name changes. Well I was a little more curious and I stumbled upon a blog that had information about the Abelin and Christiansen family. That is my great grandpa Angus Anderson's family on his mother's side. The blog was full of family pictures that allowed me to see who these people were and how they looked. Well I hope that I can find more information about our ancestors and pictures would be great too! If anyone is interested I listed the blog site on our contacts under family history and the website is

Belly Update

Here's a picture of me at 26 weeks pregnant.

Paint

We were able to paint the baby's room the other day. It only took a few hours. We're really happy with the way it turned out. The curtains help to put a finishing touch on it.

I was also able to finish some paintings for the walls in the baby's room. What do ya think?

Two Years!

Shane and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on August 25th. We shared gifts and a nice dinner out.

It's been an amazing two years. We've gotten new jobs, a new house, and a baby on the way. We have been so blessed and feel so lucky that we get to share our love with each other and our growing family.

Here's to an eternity of love!
