Welcome to the Hall Family Website and Photoblog. This site is about a family of seven, ages four to 90 who live in Tallmadge, Ohio. Our household consists of David and Joan Hall, our three daughters, Svea, Brigitta and Annika and Joan's parents, Bill and Harriette Wilsterman (AKA: Papa and Nana). I (David) was born and raised in Alaska and studied art/photography at University of Alaska, Fire science in Hawaii and elementary education in Colorado. Joan has degrees in architecture, interior design and science from Kent State, Ohio. I met Joan on a beach in Hawaii on March 12, 1995; by the end of the day I told her that we would be married. Joan and I fell in love in Hawaii where we kayaked and hiked regularly. After a four month road trip from Arizona, to Alaska to Ohio, we settled in Colorado and were married. Joan put her architecture and interior design skills to use at a small architecture firm. I studied education in graduate school in Denver and got a job teaching first grade in Colorado Springs. Svea was born in 1999 while we lived in Woodland Park, Colorado. In 2001 we decided to move to Ohio so that we could be closer to Joan's parents. Brigitta was born six weeks early and only four days after we arrived in Joan's parent's home in Ohio. We enjoyed the company and mutual support of Joan's parents enough that we decided to permanently reside together. In 2002 I was hired to teach technology at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish School in Cuyahoga Falls. In 2005, Annika was born 11 weeks premature. Joan now teaches a two-year-old preschool class at Treehouse Preschool in Tallmadge. We all enjoy hiking, kayaking, photography, creating art and visiting Alaska. |
