Can anyone guess what the above picture to the left is and where it was taken, Click on the picture for the answer. In referring to the picture to the right,  my personal opinion is, Tom is pushing Siena too fast. We all know he will be teaching her how to fly before she is 15, but to try and give her a checkout flight now is down right silly. It looks to me like he is going to have to put foot blocks on the petals before she begins her flight training.


The picture below is taken at Siena's 2 birthday party. She is actually only 1 year old but we also celebrated her birth over a year ago. Click on the picture to see the rest of the show.

 

Guess what ? I finally have almost all the vacation pictures up. I still have no music on the second Stallions page, but I will get it come "hell or hi water". "Got it" and I guess someone must be watching this page because the weather guy on TV says we are going to get 2 inches of rain Wednesday.  Read below to find out how to get to the vacation pictures.
Sorry but I confess I have been lazy about putting the pictures Diane and I took during our recent mid winter trip to the cold south. .This first group of pictures were taken at Siena's Baptism.  From what I have heard some people are getting down right nasty. So for you who complained I am going to make sure a special picture of you is included.

If you click on the picture of Siena to the right or go to the Diane and  Don link to the left you will see the first stop of our winter vacation of 2009. We arrived on January 23rd, so it was too cold to be running around outside. In the first slideshow you will see mostly Siena. She is growing so fast. You can see by the above picture she has learned how to feed herself. Some of the pictures from this slide show actually have some other people in them. But they are not important.
To see the rest of the pictures you must click on the link located on the pictures you are looking at.

 

The following slide show was Siena's Thanksgiving in Ohio. November 2008, I am placing this link here in the 2009 story because I got behind on my web page updates and some may have missed the pictures.

 Siena, Amie and Tom drove in from Maryland, as the weather was too questionable to fly the Cheetah. We had rain and snow forecast almost their entire route. Crossing the mountains is always dangerous in the winter because of the chance of getting ice on the aircraft. Small aircraft do not want to fly if they  have ice on their  wings.
Donna, Diane's sister  surprised us by flying in from Massachusetts. We found out that plans were coordinated through Amie and Tom and Jen and Don. I guess every one was aware that Donna was coming except Diane and the Frog. It was a good surprise as we had not seen Donna for several years. We had our Thanksgiving at Don's home as he has nearly twice the room we have. Jen's mother and her grand daughter was there along with her brother and a couple of her uncles. Henry Jen's dad could not make it as he had to work. We also had all 4 of the dogs with us, so we had to keep an eye on the food table as except for Minnie the other three could just stand there and eat from the table. I am happy to say the dogs behaved them selves and no food was missing.  The food was great and I believe every one had plenty to eat. There is a slide show of every one stuffing their face under the picture above. So just click on the picture of Siena and Amie to see the ret of the family at our Thanksgiving gathering at Don's.

I have linked to my son in law Tom's web page of  his and Amie's pictures of Siena, taken from "In the womb" that is Amie's womb, to his last entry which was about 2 months ago. He has nearly 300 pictures of Siena. Because this is Tom's webpage I can not put any disgusting music or change anything that may offend someone. One good thing the pictures will automatically update as they add new pictures. Either click on the Amie and Tom Hesbach link to the left or click on the on the link underlined above and find the link on the left column, titled Amie and Tom's Siena,  when you get to Amie and Tom's page.

A written history of the Roehler family has been added to the link called the Rest of the Lamoreaux Family. From this link you will see many old pictures of our family and a narrative of the Roehler family written by our cousin Doreen for the Christmas 2001 family album the 2 of us put together. Many pictures remain un-named as we still have no idea who they are. If you see yourself or know of someone let me know so I can give their picture a title.

The picture below will be the First entry for 2009, To view 2008 and other years scroll down to the bottom of the left column  and open the link to 2008

Below is is the picture of the over the hill PACE group at our annual old folks New Years bash. Except for the gentleman between Larry and Don we are all ex Pace members. You could tell some of us are getting old when they could not open the bottle of champagne, to toast in Dick Clark and 2009. It is my sad burden to say Dick Clark should hang up his records. Ever since his major stroke, he has tried to come back. But what we saw New Years eve looked more like a K Mart manikin than Dick. Also I am told that he had to learn how to talk again after the stroke. He sounded like a record playing at half speed. So I want to say Dick I loved you back in the 50's but the ball has fallen. Produce all the shows you want but do not get propped up in front of a TV camera.
 Most of the group who have stayed in contact have retired and moved South or West.
 The antennas coming out of Brenda's head are really not attached to her head, they are actually a new walking devise, with hi intensity car headlights, tied to her back. They are supposed to help her see where she is going at night. The only problem she has to carry this long extension cord to power the lights. When she bought the lights she was given the choice of a long wire or a wagon she could pull behind her with 4 car batteries to provide the power. 

 I will be trying a new slide show program shortly. This program you should be able to stop run, copy pictures that you may want. I am still testing it as it must be able to out perform the Microsoft slide program I  have been using.

It has been requested because of the size of this web page, for all new changes a description of the change and link to that change will be located in the Frog Pond Tales

Some of you who happen upon these smattering of photos and text and music may wonder why is the Frog doing this. It may seem like a huge waste of time to some.
  But what inspired me was, one day as I was rummaging around for something I had stored in the basement, I came upon 3 boxes of photos we had stored away and forgotten. Some of the pictures were of my mother who I had not seen since 1956 when she passed away  of polio and of my father who has been gone for over 20 years. Then I thought what were going to happen when Diane and I pass. Were these pictures and our current family pictures going to be tossed in a box and later thrown out. Will the Ellis and Lamoreaux families be recycled to the trash dump, one trash pickup day in the future?
But no I thought, I will start a web page, just for the fun of it. It is very inexpensive. I will then save the web page file to a DVD. Come Christmas I will then give a copy of the Lamoreaux Family history to my children as a Christmas gift.Each year I will give them a new disk that has all the newly added photos and info on it. That would mean they would have a updated copy of our history up until my death, or I become to cranky to do this silly waste of time any longer. A DVD copy of the web page will run as if it were on line, published to the web.  Music and all. And if the computer that you are viewing the Frog Pond on is connected to the internet, if a link is refered to and it is still active the DVD will go to the link.
 I know that the computer bigwigs keep getting richer by changing the format or method of saving information. So it will be up to the future Lamoreaux family to upgrade the DVD disk to the next format when it comes along. Then they would pass it along to their family.
At least that is what I hope happens.
