Oceanside Vacation Day 3: A Day for Fools

April 1st, 2012 · 1 Comment

Something’s up… It’s April Fools Day and the day is nearly over and no one has even made a feeble attempt to pass off a gag or practical joke. I don’t trust my family. Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not planning something.

On birth announcements, baptisms and other Hunter-related stuff

March 6th, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Now there’s an easy way to add a post to McClellandfamily.com: Sara and Wes hand out the birth announcements for their new baby boy, Hunter, and I scan it and slap it up. Hunter William Norman tipped the scales at 8 lbs, 8 oz. and 21 inches. He was born on February 8th, 2011 making Lisa and I great aunts and uncles for the second time and making Les a great-grandparent also for the second time.

At nearly 7 pm, baby Wyatt Norman peered into the bright lights of the delivery room and shortly thereafter joined the family. Proud parents, Sara and Wes shed a brief tear as they welcomed the 7 pound, 13 ounce newcomer who stretched out to a long 21 and a half inches on the table. Sara sent out occasional text messages to friends and family who couldn’t

Bon Voyage! Mexico cruise begins…

December 28th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Our second full day at sea today, and you’d think we’d be bored. That’s not the case. The kids are enthralled with the pools and the waves in it that the ship makes when it rolls from side to side.
Bon Voyage!

But Emily and Patrick’s favorite parts of this vacation so far were before we even got on the cruise ship. Patrick most enjoyed the airplane flight to San Diego. Emily’s favorite? Going to
