Give it a whirl

Well, I guess it's time to join the technological world of blogging (I thought I was advanced with a cell phone and an Ipod). My friend, Becky tells me blogging is so easy, and I guess it's better than trying to remeber to write in your nightstand journal once in a blue moon.

Where to start, I guess anyone who reads this will know our family and a little of our history. If not, here are some brief introductions:
