So, my plan to have the entire family update this blog isn't going well. I guess I am not as good at making my family do things they don't want to do as I thought I was! ;) AND everyone is so darn busy all of the time! Wilson is the only one who is always home and he can't type (or do laundry or cook or mop floors or clean bathrooms and believe me, I have tried to teach him!) To keep this from becoming boring, I will do more updating myself and force my family members to chime in now and then because I think they all have interesting things to say!
I don't have a plan or a theme today so I am going to ramble for a moment... It's February and this is my favorite month of the year. It's my birthday and Valentine's Day and tax return time! This is FAR better than Christmas! Santa never brings us money, he just requires us to spend it! Monte and I are going to celebrate Valentine's Day this weekend while the kids are in Toledo. This will allow us to avoid the crowds and craziness next week (we are so practical) and also enjoy some "alone" time. Next weekend we will plan something to do with the kids AND we will be VERY busy getting ready for my dad's visit from Texas!!! I sure hope he brings some warm weather with him! Even if he doesn't we are all very excited to see him!
I also need to start planning a certain someone's sixteenth birthday celebration. I can not wrap my mind around the fact that my first born son is turning 16. I don't feel old enough! I remember my own 16th year of life so vividly. And my parents? were OLD when I was 16. Looking back, they were younger than I am now. And this is yet another thing I can not wrap my brain around...perspective is an amazing thing.
Well, there you go, a bunch of rambling just as I promised! Look for a very sappy post about my son Zech soon. I am feeling VERY sentimental these days!

Hello,
This is a note for Bertram whose photos I saw on Flickr but whose email there is no longer active. I hope this is not invasive as it is not intended to be so. I just have a tight deadeline and wasn't sure how else to find Bertram.
Anyway, I am writing as I came across a picture you took of Jacob that is exactly the look we were looking for for a brochure we are doing for a high school leadership program in Washington DC.
And the long and the short of it is that we were wondering whether you would be interested in selling usage of the photo for this brochure as stock photography? We don't have a lot of money but we do have some.
If you are either interested or not, could you just drop me a note to Liam@freshcutonline.com and I will get back to you ASAP as the brochure has to go to the printer this Friday, March13th, 2009.
Thank you and again sorry for barging into a family blog.
