Well, we did a search tonight on Google, for Brenan Donbrosky. And lo and behold, this old blog popped up on the results.
So Brenan asked if we could create a new one. I said, why not just continue this one. So, here we are. First post in over 5 years.
We'll see if we can resurrect this one from the dead.
Memorable Quotes
- This is a quote from a few years back. Heather was shopping, and they passed through the women's section with all of the bras and such. Devin covered his eyes and said this.

Tough Days
Well, on top of being homesick already during the holidays of 2010, on Wednesday, December 29th, my Grandpa Donbrosky passed away. He was 3 weeks shy of his 91st birthday. It is hard to imagine him not with us any more, as he has been there my entire life. I know miss him extraordinarily. As my sister Martha said on her blog, I know he has gone on to a better place, of that I am sure, and he has been reunited with his wife, Martha [yes, my sister's namesake].
I too remember him with a cigar always protruding from his lips. I also always remember him with a baseball cap on [just as he is pictured in his obiturary picture].
He was a giant of a man in my life, as is his son, my father. I have nothing but great memories of my times with him, of our trips to Michigan and the many Christmases spent there. I don't know if it is accurate, but I seem to remember that whenever we went up there, it was snowing. Always a white Christmas. I think that made it stand out even more in my mind, because it was so magical. We don't often get white Christmases in Virginia where I grew up.
I know this is extremely hard on my father. I cannot even begin to describe the depth of emotion within me right now as I ache for my dad.

Uh oh . . .
Boy oh boy, I really feel like a failure though. I wanted to do at least 1 update on here every month, and I thought this would be my September entry. Then I realized that I already missed July and August!

An Untimely Update
Okay, so I was sitting here a minute ago, and Martha said "I thought you were going to keep your blog more updated."
My response: "Well, the last blog I started had only one entry, so anything more than that is 'more updated', right?"
Devin is closing in on the completion of his 4th grade year. He is doing really well in school, and once he starts reading it's hard to get him to stop. But, sometimes we do struggle to get him "started". The other night he saw a member of our ward, and their little girl who had pierced ears. She is probably about a year old. Devin walked up to the father and asked, "are those fake". He found out they were real and replied, "she's a bit young for that don't you think?" The father thought that was really funny, as did all of us.

Easter Greetings
Okay, so Easter has come and gone. The kids all received new easter clothes. This picture was taken right after church, and Brenan fell asleep on the way home.

A Walk on the Moon . . .
And Mars for that matter. As a family, we recently went to visit the Clark Planetarium at the Gateway in downtown Salt Lake City. We saw the movie, "Under the Sea 3D" which was pretty entertaining, as narrated by Jim Carey.
They then decided to see what life was like on Mars. They didn't seem quite as enthused to be further away from planet Earth. Maybe it was because the temperature was warmer . . . we may never know.Meanwhile, Brenan was more than happy to keep his stroller wheels firmly planted on Terra firma. I don't think he thought it was a big deal. Ain't he so cute?
