This section is for family related announcements and events. Right now, you'll find a few photos of my family, of Melanie's birth, and of Erik's third birthday party. You'll notice that the most recent of these events occurred in January of 2003, and the oldest in May of 2002. Over the coming weeks (months?), I'll be bringing things up to the present. For the future, there's my tenth anniversary in about a year and a half, my father's sixtieth birthday somewhat sooner than that, and other such newsworthy events large and small.

By extension, I've every intention of announcing milestones in other relatives' lives, as well. The catch here is that I have to know about them and I have to clear the publicizing of such events in advance with the relatives in question. Without both knowledge and permission, nothing can happen here. If there's something you'd like shared, keep that in mind.

Lastly, there's a page of links to other family members' and relatives' web pages. Again, I'll have to know about them before such links can exist. So far I have only two.

A quick note: family feuds (and every family has a bunch of them, minor or major) have no place here. If I post something about someone you're angry with, for whatever reason or reasons, however valid, keep it to yourself. I don't want to hear about it. Take up any issues you have with the person you have the issues with.
