Brooks Family.org Gets a Make Over!

This is the final post to the old web site.  We've embraced blog technology and will no longer be updating the old Brooks Family site. The old site will stay on our server as archives. The site began in 1998 and now includes everything outside the wordpress blog. It contains 1,591 files, 1,295 pictures, and 2,324 hyperlinks. Nearly nine years of web posts will continue to be accessible through these pages.

Trip to Montana - Funerals, Family, and Fun

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this. If you'd like a copy of any of the photos took - remember there are 250 of them - I can email full-size ones or CDs. April 4 - 8 was spent in Montana attending the funeral of my paternal grandmother, visiting relatives, and some fun.

Random Shots

My cell phone has a camera built in. When we get bored, the camera is an easy way to entertain the children and adults.

Jeremy's New Car

We finally traded in the Subaru. I had that car for nine years! Tough to let it go...but it's for the best. Now Jeremy drives a 2003 Infinity I35! What a spoiled husband I have.
