"Where, Oh Where will my Little Boy Go?"

The papers have been submitted and now the wait has started. Join in the fun as we wait to find out where Geoff will be called by emailing your guess to ritter.s@comcast.com or making a comment on this blog site. You should choose one foreign mission and one state-side mission. We will let you know who's guess is the closest.

Happy Birthday Scott - April 5th

Happy Birthday Scott! You are a "big boy" now. Thanks for being in our family. We love you!

New Office

The new office is done. Here is a peak of Scott's work station. Now he needs to get busy and write the new edition of his Historical Geology Lab Manuel to finish paying for it.

Fun in the "box" house!!!

A few furniture boxes, packaging tape, and some makeshift furniture is a formula for hours of fun. Take a look!

A Fun Afternoon with Jack and Scott James

Valentines Day is Coming

I always look forward to Valentines Day. I really never had a "Sweetheart" on that day until I met Scott. For the past 30 years he has been creating romantic moments to celebrate the "day of love". On our first Valentines Day (we were just dating at the time) he gave me a stuffed dog named Bentley as a watch dog (to make sure no other guys came around) and some coupons to do fun things like rock-climbing, going down the Alpine Slide in Park City, dinner, etc. I decided then and there he was a keeper and sure enough every year since he has made Valentines Day a day to anticipate. I remember a few years ago, he filled a basket with items that all start with "V" like "vino" (sparkling cider), "Vibs" (a CD with music) to name a few. So I am looking forward to Saturday February 14. I am also looking forward to the 13th because Brooke, Jack, and Scotty will be here celebrating Valentines while their parents get away for their own romantic liaison.

Welcome 2009

I am excited for the new year. Over the years, our family has been blessed in so many ways. Even our trials and challenges are counted as blessings. They make us stretch and grow and give us opportunities to live larger than we normally would.

As we look back on 2008, we are thankful for and delight in the memories of the year. As we look forward, we see a brilliant new year. WELCOME 2009!
