Internship news

Hello Grothes, 

I'll be headed to Hong Kong next Fall for a 3-month picture editing internship with TIME Asia (Oct 1st - Dec 31st). I'm excited! I had a phone conference with two of their photo editors earlier this week, and it sounds like good work experience  /  E. 

Pictures from the Sip and See

Here are a couple of pics of Lily from the Sip and See (perhaps she should have her own blog).

Jackson's upcoming shows

Jackson's next show will be Saturday night, January 26th, at the Gingerman Club in uptown Dallas from 9 to 1.  Following that, he'll play there on Feb. 1st and then again on March 8th. Y'all come!

Rudy and Verna on our 59th anniversary

Hello Lily!!

Happy New Year...Nothing to "Blog" about yet, but the year is as young as our new family member...Can't wait to "see" what happens.

Privacy

Because of concerns of privacy, I've set up the blog so that it can only be viewed by trusted family and friends that we invite.  So, if any of you have someone that you'd like to share the blog with - family or friends - Christina's family, Doug's family, Seth's family, Marilyn Ruth, Steven, Steeles, Pam's family, friends, cousins, in-laws, please just send me their e-mail addresses so that they can be invited as viewers.

Lily the Rapper

rudy and verna are online

Thank you Christie for setting this up. As you know I am not doing this by myself. Thanks to Laura for her help.

Lily

Here is a picture of Lily. Its a little blurry but she does have her eyes open. I think this is one with EV holding her. I'll post more after tonight as she is coming to our house for the first time. I have to be careful though. Wendy now refers to us as the papparazzi. She is the cutest baby EVER though so its hard to resist. I can't wait for you all to meet her. Wendy and Doug are doing a great job and really enjoying her. Its true what they say--being a grandma is a lot more fun.

Jackson's new trick

This was a real crowd pleaser and, soon, I'll figure out how to add a video and you can see what I mean!

New Years in NJ!

Thanks for setting this up, MaMaa ;) Here's a picture of Luiz and me on New Year's Eve at his parents' condo in New Jersey.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!! E

Happy New Year!

I'm creating a Grothe family blog for us all to use to share family updates and photos. I'm new at this, but know it can be great fun.  Tonight when Elena and Randy come home, I'll try to add some photos or videos. Hope everyone will add some Lily photos or Christmas photos.
