Wyl & Annette; Cape Cod Trip

Dear Family;

We had a wonderful time last week on our trip to Cape Cod to see Chris , Heather, Silas and Zeke Rauch

This is a photo of Heather, Heidi, Silas, Zeke, and Izzy taken at the YMCA all three children really enjoy the water. Heather is Annette's oldest Daughter, Heidi the youngest. Silas, (4)and Zeke, (2) are heather and Chris's boys, our grand kids.

It was Halloween weekend so we went to a Halloween party put on by the library there in Cape Cod with a live band called the Toe Jam puppet band, what fun and they did shadow puppets and kids music and fun activities Silas and Zeke went in costume of course. All dressed up for trick or treat.

The Rouchs are moving to Hawaii the end of November so are going to be out of touch and very busy so have ask we not include them in our e-maling for now.

We traveled with Heidi and Izzy in their van stopping in Hartford Connecticut where Mike is working out of town so his wife and daughter could have a little time together.

On our way over and back we went through Worwick, RI. where our ancestor came over here in 1667 from Wales, Francis Colegrove.

I think Marje is the first to report on her family ring, that's great Marje, I'm going with a silver ring with a note tied on top to signify being tied to my family and ware it on my left hand closest to my heart.

Thanks to all who have done their intros, more pictures will help us know each other better.

Love to all,

Wyl

Heidi & Mike Anderson Introduction

Sorry I'm a bit behind on this...

Ok to give you a rundown of me and mine. I am Heidi Freeman Colgrove Anderson born Aug 6 1981 in Sacramento, CA. Step daughter to William Colgrove and daughter to Annette Colgrove. I was married on Nov 8 2000 in the Chicago LDS temple to Mike Anderson who was born Feb 8 1976 in Fort Wayne, IN. Mike has a daughter named Katrina who will be 13 in Dec. A Teenager! We have her every other weekend. We have a brand new daughter born to us Aug 20 2008. We have waited a LONG time getting through medical problems to have this amazing child in our lives. Her name is Izabella Mae. She already gives us lots of smiles and has blessed us with laughs as well. She also surprised herself and me by rolling over last week. We also have a one eyed black cat named Winkee. She's not quite used to having a baby in the house but is adjusting slowly to it.

Mike and I met through church at a singles break-the-fast. It was odd because we had both been in singles a while but our work schedules never coincided very well. So I was at activities while he was at work and vice versa. So the break-the-fast was the ice breaker for us as he invited me to play cards with him and his friends. Then 6 months later we got married.

At church Mike is the assistant ward mission leader. I am the choir pianist and young women secretary. As for work, Mike is a low-voltage technician. (installs security systems, phone systems, audio/video data, and nurse call systems) I am a piano teacher with 3 students and full time Mommy.

We are part of a middle ages reenactment group called the Society of Creative Anachronism. So we go to a lot of events. We especially like the camping events.

Mike's hobbies are sword fighting, recreating Russian clothing from 1400 AD, building computers, and computer gaming. My hobbies are recreating clothing from Germany 1300 AD, other sewing, jewelry making, and piano.

Okay, I've babble on enough for now. Look forward getting to know all of you!

Heidi, Mike, Izabella, Katrina, and Winkee
