Bost Family Traditions Newletter-February 2008
Well, here we are at the beginning of a new year. We trust that all of you had a Merry Christmas and memorable and fun times with family and friends. We have bid farewell to a prosperous 2007 and are eagerly anticipating the unfolding of the coming year. 2008, so far, has been filled with incredible joy and sweet memories. We have welcomed a new member to our family and have also released a new album!!!
Many of you have been asking if "that baby has been born yet." Many of you are full of enquiries concerning the details of the birth. So, I thought I would elaborate on it a bit. It was Friday, January fourth. Mama wasn't feeling like the baby was anywhere near coming. After all, she wasn't due to deliver until the 11th. However, we finally persuaded her to stay at home that night while the rest of us went to a gig at an RV resort in Yuma. Our good friend, Ron Chavez , would cover the bass for us. Mama didn't like the idea of staying home, insisting the whole time that she was perfectly able to play the bass. However, she was finally convinced and agreed (half heartedly) to staying behind. So, with great sadness, we left her at home with William and Charity to take good care of her. The gig went well...it was basically uneventful. Afterwards, we began the long trek back; from Yuma to Bisbee. It wasn't until 2:00am that we got the call. The fateful call that would change the course of our weekend, and...if you really think about it (literally), our lives. We were in Willcox when Mama called and said her water broke. You should have seen Papa....driving like I've never seen him!! We arrived home at 3ish and thankfully, our friend Margaret Dillard was there when we arrived. It was so kind of her to stay and help Mama. Well, to make a long story shorter...Mama labored for what seemed an eternity. Now, fast forward 12 hours. It is 3pm on Saturday, January 5th. Although she seemed to be progressing fairly well, it was at this point that we noticed that all progress had ceased. The midwife finally confirmed that the baby was too large and Mama packed her bag and Papa drove her (quite furiously I might add) to the Sierra Vista Regional Health Center. The baby was indeed too large and Mama was given a C section. Although this wasn't what she planned (or wanted), we were all extremely grateful for a healthy baby. It was a boy!!! 10 lbs. 11 oz. Absolutely gorgeous. You can see pictures of him on our blog at www.bostfamilyblog.blogspot.com His name is Jonathan Justice Bost and he's an absolute gift from God. He had some meconium in his lungs and had to stay under observation and the nursery for a few days after birth. He's home now though and doing spledidly. Mama is still healing, but I am pleased to report that she is doing great as well.
On Saturday, the family will be headed out on tour again. We're very happy about this...we've been getting itchy staying parked in the same place for over a month! ;) The first period of our tour will be spent in the Yuma/Quartzsite area. We can't wait to see all of you at the Quartzsite Bluegrass Festival (which has a great line up this year). We are also looking forward to Havasu Landing Bluegrass Fest. It was amazing last year and we're thrilled to be involved again.
Thank you all for your loving prayers and support. We love all of you and it's folks like you that really make what we do worthwhile. We were so blessed by all of you who were there for us during the transitory time of Jon's birth. Thanks again!

Bost Family Traditions is Back on the Road in February
We'll be bank on the road in early February and won't return until just before Thanksgiving.
A new face you'll see is Jonathan. He's still in training, so it will be awhile before he plays and sings.
A face you won't see is BrookLyn. She will be staying home and attending Cochise College and managing to some of our secretarial needs.
We have updated our website at www.bostfamilytraditions.com and will be adding more to it as we go along. Notice the calendar at the lower left of our lead screen. Soon, you'll be able to keep track of us on our journeys.

New Family Traditions is on the road!
The New Family Traditions performed in Tucson last night and will perform in Yuma, tonight. Pamela, Baby, Will (2) and Charity (6) stayed home. They are doing well, but miss the musicians.
The New Family Traditions have made a few temporary changes. BrookLyn is doing a fine job as stand-in bass player, although it's rough on the fingers! Liberty has stepped in as lead guitar player while continuing with lead vocals and, word has it, that Felicity stole the show with her winning personality!

Let's listen to some music
While we're waiting on more information about the baby, let's take a listen to a cut from the Meeting Tonight album. Here's I Feel Like Singin' Today, which is appropriate for many reasons.

Here's a video we did more than a year ago
This video will give you a bit of background about the family and some of our goals. And some of our music. You'll even learn where Buckeye, Arizona is!

Bost Family Traditions now has a blog!
Welcome to 2008 and welcome to the new weblog for Bost Family Traditions. This blog will allow you to follow the family throughout the year as it travels, performs, welcomes its newest member (very soon), teaches and does all of the things a family was meant to do together.
We will use not just text, but photos, video and audio clips to let you share in our family. The blog is posted on Blogger.com, which allows us to call in reports no matter where we are. The kids have a still digital camera, a videocam and cells phones to make all this happen -- literally from anywhere in the world. Isn't technology wonderful!
We also will be updating our website (www.bostfamilytraditions.com and soon .org) to provide even further information and downloads of our latest music. The calendar will be kept up to date so you will know where you can find us on any given day.
You will be able to subscribe to this blog (soon) and to leave comments for us (now.) With the audio posts, we're even going to try to get them onto iTunes so you can listen with your iPods and have them updates automatically.
But while there's lots happening to our communications, there's even more happening to the family, so stay tuned as we get out there and do great things in 2008. Better yet, join us!
So sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
