Abram and I drove to Destin, Florida, for a quick visit with Christopher and Carol. We had a great meal at the Blue Point, sitting outdoors, enjoying the balmy temperatures and conversing for several hours...in true Lewis fashion.

Abram got a tattoo!

The Ylitalo Family Page has been dormant for entirely too long. Time to add some photos of the family...visits with and from family...and a few new ones of Jeff, me and the house on the little lake.

Farewell to Abram

Happy New Year! Snapped this shot of Abram and Jeffrey as Abe and I prepared to drive from Ozark to Ft. Campbell, KY. Abram's plan is to visit with friends for a spell and then fly to Hawaii out of Nashville on January 13. It's been great having Abram home for the holidays! God speed, SN Ylitalo!

A little bit of this & that

Jeff and I are proud to announce Abram's successful advancement to the rank of Eagle Scout. With this happy news and too much time since the last blog posting, I thought it was a perfect time to send out some photos. It's a mish mash and a jumble but I hope you'll browse the following photos and enjoy. There are quite a few pics of Abram and his Eagle project and court of honor ceremony (we'll have an Eagle Ceremony after Jeff's return from Iraq)...some of Abram and Blake during his visit in October, pics of the lovely Miss Erika and Abram on Homecoming night...a couple of Tarajean and Matthew and Matt's parents, Ann and Peter...

The process of posting blogs has changed since the last time I did it...and took me awhile to figure out the process...again. Hopefully I won't wait so long before the next posting.

Happy Thanksgiving Season!

Well done, Abram! 11-14-05
