Spring 2008

Springtime is slowly coming to North Ga. The dogwoods have just started to open and the grass is turning green. The weatherman says we may have one more freeze next week. After that it should stay spring like. A busy school-year is quickly coming to an end. both of us are ready to enjoy a "lazy" summer. Tara recently got to visit with our new grand-daughter, Emma Van Cantfort-Carpenter. Emma is now 6 months old and beginning to get teeth. Grndpa Dale hopes to see her soon. Tara and I plan on spending most of the summer in north Ga.. The welcome mat is always out, so come see us ... love to all ... Dale & Tara

Van Cantfort family....where are you?

Ok, family - we've fallen way behind on our blog!

There is so much going on with our family now. Kevin is getting married in just a few months. Emma is growing like a weed. Maggie is back on the West coast. I know Grandpa V and Judy are always busy with something.

Personally, I would love to see some pictures of spring time back East. Spring is ever slow in appearing in Kansas and it's such a beautiful time in Georgia. So, make me jealous!

I hope everyone had great Easter weekends. We watched a lot of basketball and had a very small egg hunt for Emma.

Emma Louise Van Cantfort-Carpenter was born on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Mother and child are doing fine. So is the proud father, Tracy Carpenter.

Survivors!

Well, the Van Cantfort-Carpenter wedding went, hitches and all! The professional pictures will be available on-line in the next two weeks or so. It was good to have the family together.


Hills and Dales Estate, in La Grange, was wonderful. Guests took advantage of the sights in the greater Pine Mountain and Atlanta areas. Tracy and I had a personal concert from some wonderful country artists, including Randy Howard (in the GA Music Hall of Fame) and an up-and-coming musician, Matt Bowlin. Be on the lookout for this fella. The musicians were incredibly generous and we all had a great time.


I will post more once we get some pictures.

Celebrate the marriage!

Come join us as we celebrate the marriage of Kate Van Cantfort and Tracy Carpenter .... May 26th in LaGrange, Ga. ... look for details in the mail!!!

I don't have much time to post this morning as Tracy, my fiancee, and I are recovering from a small kitchen fire on Friday. I wanted to get some info up on the blog. I think this is great!
