Greetings from Lori and Emily

Hi family! This is Emily. I think this is a great idea to have a Hillstrom Family Blog! I hope it helps us keep up on everyone's lives! I just thought I'd post a little picture from a recent trip that me and Lori took to Boston. It was so much fun. We were there when the Red Sox won the World Series. We are now big Sox fans, of course! It was a great trip and me and Lori are in love with Boston now. So, if anyone wants to have a family reunion in New England, we'd be all for it! I hope you're all doing well! It'd be great if everyone posted something on this . . . it's actually really easy, and only takes a few minutes! Thanks for setting this up Lindsay! Love you all! Emily

Hello Everyone!

This is Scott,
I am just writing to you all to let you know that we are all well, alive and see this Blog! The family has been pretty busy as of late with school, work, more school and more work but we are still going strong! I'm going to allow Dad or Mom to actually post about the situation of us all, but I am going to go ahead and post a picture of our most recent pictured family.
Love you all!
-Jeff Hillstrom Family

Experiment

Hello everyone - Lindsay has created this blog and was waiting for me to check it out - and so I am trying a post - no pictures though!
I hope we can pass this on and use it - I miss the family source to keep us all informed (mom). Love you all - Gina

Calling all Hillstroms!

We're hoping everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to let everyone know what's going on in each of your lives. Whether something big and exciting happened or just something small you want to share ... please just share!

Much love to you all!
Gina and Lindsay
