Thanks for starting this life line.

Here are a few shots of us [Janet and Larry] with Nigel and Rowan

Hello and Thanks for the Invite

This is such a neat way to stay updated. Not long ago a blog was an enlarged data base entity that allowed you to write beyond the standard 245 characters allowed for most DB entities. Shows you how far behind I have gotten!!

Hope all is well with sweet Molly and her mommy, the Pump Lady.

We just got back from a trip to Detroit...went there to celebrate Sheri's 50th and Rachel's 21st birthdays. Hard to believe that time goes by so quickly. Had a good family time, but admit that I am glad to be back home. We started a City of Portland DR project a couple of weeks ago, so back on the road next week for Sheri and me.

We love you and pray for you daily... Sheri and Dad

How to add your entry to this blog

Seems to us that some of you might never have used a blog before, so we thought it might make sense to give you a tutorial for how to add your own family pictures or stories. You can do this! It possible in 7 easy steps:



Step 1. Log into the site (there's a link in the upper right corner).



Step 2. Go to the "Dashboard" (also a link in the upper right corner).



Step 3. Click on the link that says "New Post" under the Adams-Castleman Family Everything Blog. (If this doesn't show up, send us an email with your login email and we'll add you to the contributor list)



Step 4. Enter a title in the first field.



Step 5. If you want to add a picture (or multiple pictures), click the little picture icon on the bar under the Compose tab.

Step 5b. Browse to the picture you want to upload and then click "upload image"

Step 6. Write your content... whatever you'd like (no one here will judge your writing style). There's a built-in spell check (the icon to the left of the picture icon), if you'd like to use it.

Step 7. Click "Publish Post".

It's that easy!

Brian Adams Kids... and Larry

Since my bother (Brian Adams) doesn't have reliable access to the internet at his house, here is a post for his kids.

Nigel Adams (Brian and Sue Adams Oldest)
This cutie is Rowan Adams (Brian and Sue Adams Youngest).

Chris, Val & the boys went to Italy in May

Here we are at the top of a tower in San Gimignano in Tuscany. We were two weeks in country, and had a fabulous time! Valri is working on a website that encompasses the whole trip, but I keep getting bored with it, so it's taking forever.
Current news: Kendall is playing varsity football this year, Conner is learning to play the violin and loving it, Chris is working toward his black belt in Jiu Sool Do, and Valri is trying to keep up with everyone.
Adam... Thank you for this site, I hope it gets well used! I love the idea of having one place to go to find out what's up with everyone, and to stay connected!

Adam and Conner play a duet

Yesterday, Adam and Conner played some violin together...

Extended family...

Everyone doesn't know about this yet. Please invite folks or send their email addresses to Adam so he can.

Adams Castleman Family Everything Blog

Hi!

From David Adams

Family takes more than blood or marriage, it takes relationships and connectedness. To strengthen the Adams Castleman family bond I wanted to setup a family blog where everyone could write, post pictures and keep up with everyone else in the family.

Goals:
Get everyone permission to blog on this account.
Get everyone with picture phones setup with accounts so we can have tons of pictures.
Increase connectedness of extended family
Increase web-saavyness of family
Have fun

Rules:
I will do very light as-needed administration
Keep it family friendly

And again, have fun
