Happy New Year and Happy celebrating in SC -- babies are coming home tonight!‏


Dear family & friends,

     Happy New Year to all of you, my dear family and friends,

     We all have so much to be thankful for this beautiful Christmas and New Year's time!  Thank you all for the love and friendship we share and the bonds that strengthen through the years!  I wish you all a most joyous New Year filled with happy times with family and friends, improved and strengthened health, and time every day to feel and experience joy and gladness!  May you all prosper and attain the goals you have set for this New Year -- spiritually, emotionally, physically, and in loving and serving one another and those around you!

     This evening we are celebrating the "Coming Home" of the sweet, little Christmas angels from University Hospital in Augusta, GA!  Alan & Rebecca are with them all day in the Special Care Nursery in a private room just for their little family.....with the nurses and doctors nearby.... in case there are questions or concerns.  Their expected arrival time here at their home in Aiken, SC, is approximately 7 pm!

     Needless to say, this New Year's celebration will be the most memorable and exciting for us here than I can imagine!

     Take good care of one another and remember to find joy in every new day!

     Love and hugs,

         Mom, (Ann Olsen)

Question about Ericksen family site


Myrna wrote: Dear Caren and Kate,

Caren, do you still live in Washington D.C.? And Kate, are you still in Canada? I let our family site for the Ericksen family expire because there didn't seem to be any interest after one year. However, if anyone is interested, I would be willing to start it up again. Let me know.

Thanks for the message re the site. I agree that it was not much used, but would certainly join in paying for it if the younger generation wants to be involved in it.

I do indeed live in Washington, DC - address for the record is: 3241 Klingle Road NW, Washington, DC 20008-3404. My home telephone is 202 337 0702. I live right near the National Cathedral on Wisconsin Ave.

Just returned from an interesting 8 days of business in Hong Kong and Bangkok, now on to the holidays.

Keep in touch even if you don't start up the site again.

All the best to all Ericksen relatives for the New Year,

Caren Ericksen Wilcox

Hi Myrna,
My dad is from Cardston, Alberta;  and his dad is still there.  I live currently in Irvine, California.  I wish I had more time for geneology right now, it's such an enriching and fun hobby.  Unfortunately, I just don't have the time right now.  My daughter Jane was just born on 10/30/07;  and I'm swamped just trying to keep up with my three active and busy little ones.  It's a beautiful time in our lives, but ooooooooooooooh  sooooooooooo exhausting!!! ;0)
All the best and Merry Christmas!

 If you have any questions or would like any photos, just let me know and I will e-mail them to you. 

What is your husband's first name? Is he from Canada or from California. I had a friend who grew up with me in Price, Utah, who was a Thorpe. You sound young enough that you could be his daughter-in-law. I don't know, of course, how common the surname is. Certainly mine is not common.

Caren wrote: Sounds like you have a wonderful and growing family, Myrna. I just turned 65 on December 4th. I think I am Ferdinand's youngest grandchild, since my father was his youngest child. I think Kate is a descendant of Clementina who moved to Alberta, and she was Ferdinand's second child. All the best for the holiday. I am leaving today to go up North for Xmas and the New Year.

Mine is: Myrna and Leonard Trauntvein, 228 South 300 East, Nephi, Utah, 84648.

My phone number is (435) 623-0195. 

We can stay in touch and that would be nice. I would like that.

Kate wrote: My husband is Mark, and he grew up in Arizona.  His dad is Wayne Thorpe from Springville, Utah.  None of Wayne's siblings live in Price, but maybe it's a cousin.  I'll have to ask.
 
28 grandkids, WOW!!!!  That's incredible.  
 
When I have more time, I'll try to get back into my research.  Geneology is so fun, I can't believe how much joy it's brought me.  Last year, I was able to do the temple work for an ancestor on my Chrisman line, it was amazing.  And I have just felt angels really close during the whole researching process.  
 
Well, take care Myrna, and have a wonderful Christmas with all your family!
 
all the best, Kate
