Modern Grandparents!

I am so excited that you started this blog! I am in love with this style of keeping in touch because I feel like it fills the journaling and scrapbooking deficiencies in my life. It's better than scrapbooking really, because you all get to see and respond immediately. (Plus, it's cheap!) So I'll post the first picture by bragging about my new little girl- for those of you in Idaho, it's still summer here. That's why she's wearing such a warm outfit ;o)

The New Gage-Consoliver Family Connection

As Julie, Ron and I tried to think of a name for our family blog, we thought of the word "Prisms" because of the prisms that have always hung in our kitchen windows, reflecting rainbows around the room as the sun shines through them. Sara's Lauren helped refine the name as she thought of crystal prisms, which they are. We like to think of our family as being multi-faceted, with different talents, occupations, and likes and dislikes. However, it has always been Ron's and my hope to bring our children together in a semi-family unit where we could do some sharing of what goes on in our lives, and this blog seems to be a way to accomplish that. So, we hope that all of you children and grandchildren will take this opportunity to tell us what you are doing, how you are doing, to post pictures and make comments.
