Acting a Little Funny

I was displaying some American culture for a friend from South Africa! Don't worry I went back to normal shortly afterward!!!!

Bryant Girls

I figured since everyone was posting pictures on our blog that I should too... The picture of the two of us was taken before she left the states, I was helping her pack and it was just a mess. I love seeing all of the old and recent pictures... does anyone care to post more? And yes, my Raison Clan, that was a challenge!

Another Old Picture

I don't have many old photos out here in Colorado, but this is one I do have. Mom is pregnant with me at the time this picture was taken. Brad was surprise how much our family resembles each other. Personally, I didn't think I looked like mom, but after looking at this for a while I really can't deny it! That is one scary baby doll Leah's got, but Mom said she wouldn't go anywhere without it!

Old and Possibly Embarassing Photo Request

I don't have access to any old family photos here in South Korea but wouldn't it be fun to see who could dig some up. These would probably be before the age of digital cameras so you may need to scan them in. I do have a few funny pictures I have dug up on my computer!

My mom and dad when they came to MN to visit us in August 2005. Isn't that a famous grandma pose!

Santa Clause is Robbie with Aunt Vivian. I am not sure if this was this Christmas or last Christmas!

Old Photos

So several months ago, my stepmom came across a bag of film in her attic that my dad had never developed. Surprisingly they actually turned out pretty well. Talk about a tearful trip to the walmart photo processing dept. The lady looked at me like I was nuts for crying while looking through the pictures. Here is one of my favorites. We are at "Rock City" here in Chattanooga. I would estimate that the pictures are at least 20 years old, but probably closer to 25 years.

Great News!

Tonight I was working out at Curves and my Pastor's wife told me that Aunt Karen and her son Craig were in church on Sunday (we didn't go as we were both sick), and that Craig had accepted the Lord earlier in the week! I was really happy to hear this and to also hear that he was visiting his mother under good terms. I think we need to keep him in all our prayers as he has had a rough road and will have a bumpy one ahead.

Aunt Debbie

James in Japan

James hanging off F-16 jet in Tech School. Doesn't he look just like his dad?

Eldon & I think this is a really great idea! We will try and post blogs regularly. Just to update everyone on what is going on here......James has been in the Air Force for a year now and is sationed in Kadena, Japan. He is planning on coming home in January to get married to a girl he met in Japan. She is also in the Air Force and her parents live in Pensacola. We haven't mer her yet, but have talked to her on the phone and seen pictures, she seems to be a nice girl. Derrek, Lisa(his wife) and Alex (our pride and joy) are finally leaving New Orleans and moving to Madison. :-) We can harldly wait to be able to see Alex and spoil him on a regular basis. Little do his parents know, but we have a plan to steal him away. She can always have more kids! lol.

As for the Raison home, we belive it is on a sink hole and is slowly sinking. Our home owners insurance has already had someone out to do a visual inspection and a radar of the ground. Now they are sending someone out to do some drilling for soil samples. They suggested we do not invest anymore money into the home for now. So it sounds to us as if they may be considering settling a claim with us and buying the home. If that happens we plan and moving out of this thriving town known as Madison.

Derek's Little Boy

Aunt Debbie sent me a picture of Derek's little boy. I am sorry I don't know his name but he sure is cute!! I think he has Uncle Eldon's mischievous grin! :)p

Happiness Inside

I am so glad to see that at least two people are using the blog. I hope it catches on. I actually got the idea from another blog called Girl Talk. It is one family that posts solid Christian teaching. I thought if they could do it why can't we. Let's make this work!!

Georgia

Prego Beth!

Prego Beth!
"Not so little" Heath Michael Schubert!

Beth will probably kill me for the picture, but she can't do that from Colorado! Enjoy. This was just taken a few days ago. Pretty cute.

Lydia says "Interesting Idea Ms. Georgina!"

After telling my boyfriend Brent of Georgia's idea to keep the family together through blogging, he said, "Is that a thing?" It was hilarious. I have to admit, I know of no other families that have a mutual blog, but in this day and age-- it's brilliant. Of course, my big sister is quite clever so it doesn't surprise me. Check out the link to my blog for recent pictures. Hope to see some posts soon!

Welcome to the New Age

This is the first in I hope many made by the decedents of Melvin and Patricia Raison. I have invited everyone to be authors that I have their emails. If you have any additional email address please send them to me.

Also if you have any website addresses for people from the family let me know and I can add them. I hope this is something that we can all use. Happy blogging!
