This is Rachel again. I was just writing you all to let you know that the deadline for your family submissions for the Brady Family Book is a month away, Sept.11. I received mail from aunt Leann this morning with a list of family names, births, deaths, marriages, and divorces and I wanted to share with all of you that after Tracy's sweet baby is born this year, we have 134 family members that all stem from Archie and Norma Brady. As I looked over our family names I felt as though my heart was going to swell out of my chest. I am so proud to belong to such a legacy. I have recently taken up indexing for the church as a hobby. For those of you who don't know what indexing is it involves looking over historical documents and trying to decipher what is written on them. It is difficult but I get so giddy thinking about the names, dates, and places that this work supplies the church with and the temple work that can be done for all of these precious people. Family History work has lit a fire with in me and some nights I can't even sleep because names, faces, and this duty to get this work done weigh so heavy on my heart. Please help me make this a success. Please help me to leave something behind for our progeny so that they may know where they truly come from. So again I would like the story of how the two of you met, sweet memories of your own family that you would like included, a few important pictures, and most importantly as many memories that you can jot down of grandma and grandpa. Please include your children in this so that they may have the opportunity to share their personal stories with all of us and with grandma and grandpa. Something else that just occurred to me that might be really neat to include are blessing and baptism dates. If you would like to include this with your work that would be fantastic too. I kind of think that those dates can stand as a testament of what we believe. I love you all so much and I am so grateful to call you mine for eternity.Let me know if there is anything you need, I am here 24,7. Thank you again!!!
Love, Rachel Brady

Hey, This is Kristen, Tyler's wife (your husband's cousin) son of Loren and Susan Brady. I was looking at Ben and Kate's blog and I saw your name on the list and thought I would pop over to catch up on your family. I know this sounds so stalkerish? anyway, I love the family history idea and was wondering if this is something for all the Norma and Archie descendants? I will gladly send you our information if you want it, but I'm not clear on who exactly you want stuff from!
Your girls are so cute, what an adorable family!
(for some reason this didn't get posted until I came back and posted the p.s. sorry for making a mess of your comment board!)
