Welcome to the Dell family website. WOW! That's all we can say about the past 2 months. It has been a whirlwind of activity with us as Valerie performed in her 2nd Tap Recital on May 15th; we said good-bye to friends Brad, Amanda and Luc Hickey as they embark on their new adventure in Maryland; wished Hail and Farewell to Cadet David Duncan, Cadet Ashley Beard and Cadet Jessica Haines as they graduated from high school and the Naval SeaCadet Corps; attended Valerie's Kindergarten graduation; got an extended visit with Blair's mom who also drove up with Candus and the kids to Michigan to see Uncle Chuck, Aunt Pat, Nicole, Grandma Harry and some other family and then on to Chicago where Candus, Valerie and Colton stayed with Candus' Dad and got to see several of the new babies in the family (see Baby News page for more details) and spend some quality time with everyone in that area as well as celebrated our niece Amber's graduation from 8th grade. Blair went south to Lake Okeechobee, Florida to attend NSWOC training with several cadets from the Naval SeaCadet Corps SeaWolf Division. We all came together in time to celebrate Father's Day. Picture's from all our events and travels can be found throughout this website so make sure you take a look at each page.

Our Genealogy page is forever changing as we continue to research, collecting more data and taking more pictures. We will keep you posted when we finally post all of the new information. Please note that this new page is constantly being updated as new information regarding the family becomes available to us.

Well that is all that is new with us. Below are our current events calendars. We apologize if we do not have your birthday or anniversary posted. We only post those we have, so if you do not see it on the calendar, please e-mail us and we would be happy to add it. If anyone would like to have any other information added to these calendars, please e-mail us with the information.

Now that we have finally upgraded our service, hopefully you will all have an easier time accessing our site. If there does come a time that you do have a problem accessing it, please try again in an hour. We hope that all is well with everyone and their families. Take good care of each other and please keep in touch.
