Hawes Family Website

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hope everyone is health and safe and have a Happy New Year as well.

Well, I haven't posted anything in a long time.  I probably won't add to the website as much now that the deployment is done.  A lot of it was for Tom to see what was going on at home as well as for all of you to keep up with Tom.  Well he is here now and we are doing great!

Will hopefully do some updating soon.

Take care

Well, seems like freewebs has changed the photo option around on me.  From now on you can go to the Photo Gallery link to get a glimpse of all photo albums I have posted.  I guess this way I can break them down into smaller albums also, so this might work.  Check out Kayla's snowboarding, and Julia's American Girl trip to NYC.

Also a new video under home movies!

Love, compassion, and concern for others are real sources of happiness.  With these in abundance, you will not be disturbed by even the most uncomfortable circumstances. 

If you nurse hatred, however, you will not be happy even in the lap of luxury.  Thus, if we really want happiness we must widen the sphere of love.  This is both religious thinking and basic common sense.

Well, it is January 14th, a snow day here in New York.  So, I decided to re-arrange my website, try to give it a new look as well as better organize it.  I kind of felt that it wasn't quite organized as I would like it to be.  I guess you get better with time right!  I am sure it will still be far from perfect, but as long as you can view my pictures and read what we write, then that is the point of this little family website.  Tom continues to update his blog about every two weeks.  As well as new pictures from Iraq almost monthy.  I decided to arrange my pictures by place taken.  The most recent photos section will be photos taken since moving to New York, which we love.  West Point is beautiful!  Tom and I always talked about coming here, but it was a stretch, and now we are actually here, well, Tom will be here soon enough.  I hope that he is content in his job here at West Point when he gets back.  As for the housing, it leaves much to be desired, but in this move we got the location that we wanted, and the post itself is great and so are the schools, so it makes up for it.  It is a little loud since it seems everyone that keeps moving in brings more dogs into the picture.  Ours makes her share of noise, but I am so paranoid about it that I try to bring her in when she does that.  Little Mia has a Boxer living on one side of the fence, and a Weimaraner living on the other.  Then there are 4 or 5 dogs in the houses behind us, but I don't know them.

Okay, so that is enough for now.  I actually felt like writing today.  I usually keep it to a minimum, just say what I have to say!  Happy viewing!  Thanks for visiting our site.
