My name is Emily and I am Marion's oldest and Lois' oldest grandchild.....wow, am I making myself sound old or what! :-) I have enjoyed meeting many of you on facebook and hope to connect with many of you through Irene's blog as well. My mom was so excited to be connecting with all of you over the past several years so I hope to keep her enjoyment going.
A bit about me. I've been married for 6 years and we have one four legged child named Lucy. My husband Peter and I adore her...she knows it! I work for an insurance company and manage a staff of 6, which keeps me very busy. Peter is a software developer. I am into cooking and entertaining, I just love having our house full of family and friends. Peter is very into photography in his spare time and even has a studio in our basement. You can see some is his work at www.secondlookphotos.com.
I try my hand at blogging...not sure that anyone actually reads it though. For about two years I blogged about cooking and entertaining, then when my mom got sick I sort of slacked off. You can still see it at www.emilykallos.blogspot.com. I've recently just started a new blog which will probably have a lot of my cooking projects, but other things as well, you can see it at www.decade-three.blogspot.com. I also try to be good at photography. I can't come close to the talents of my husband, but you can see photos of our family and friend at www.kallos.smugmug.com.
Here are a few photos from my recent visits with my Aunt Cathy, Uncle Ed, Grandma Lois, and of course my mom, Marions.

Mom and Aunt Cathy, I love this one!

Again, I am so looking forward to getting to know all of you! Thank you to all who have sent me such kind emails and Facebook messages about my mom. This is the most difficult thing I have ever experienced and it feels so good to know that others loved and cared for her as much as we did.
