Women's Retreat

Hello Ladies,
We would like to start a new tradition in our family. For the past 8 years I have been attending the “Dunford Women’s Retreat”. This is a retreat with all the women (14 and older and nursing babies of course) in Tyler’s mom’s family. Each year I can’t help but wish it was my mom, sisters, nana, etc. that I was having such fun with. So Lisa's girls decided that we wanted to start holding our own girls retreat.

We are hoping to do it this summer. We were thinking July or August might be the best time since kids would be out of school. The retreat would be held at Lisa’s house and it would go from 5:00 p.m. on a Friday to around 1:00 on Saturday (yes it’s a sleepover). The retreat will consist of motivating classes, a fun craft, a service project, learning more about an ancestor and really just having fun together strengthening our bonds.

This letter is also to inform you that we have set up a new family blog. http://thestrongbonds.blogspot.com/. We would like for each of you to get on and tell us what would work best for you for the retreat. We think this blog can be a fun way for us to keep in touch. We will be sending each of you an invite to be a contributor on the blog. This will allow you to post pictures and info on what’s going on in your family.

There will be more info to come on the retreat once we hear back from all of you.

Love
Lisa, Marli, Brittany and Jillian

P.S. Let us know if you have any trouble getting on the blog.
