We just got back from Los Angeles where we celebrated my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary! Congratulations Mom and Dad!! Here are some photos from one of the parties. Arlo was also documenting the event with Monique’s camera phone, I’m wondering if he got any better pictures…

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

OK, we’ve decided that it’s (far past) time to put up our own blog. We’ve been blogging and writing at different sites around the net since the web was in its infancy, but have never put much effort into a site of our own. Well, unless we’re counting that very old vanity site I did for our son Kindy when he was a baby (he’s 13 now!) that won the Best Web Site Award at the Sonoma County Fair. Suddenly, I was an “award-winning web designer”! Not that I went in that direction, but it was fun to brag about at the time.

My first task for this blog (after installing WordPress) was digging up those old website files. Dang, he’s a cutie! And I’m happy to report that I was able to locate and extract the html files from an 8-year-old backup CD in just a few minutes — my backup strategy works!

I’m not sure what you can expect here. We’ll be posting about things that are interesting to us, chronicling our family’s adventures, and building a sort of online scrapbook that we hope others besides us will enjoy. Or maybe we’re just building a pile of evidence for our kid’s future therapy sessions. Time will tell.
