getting started




ok, so i am new at this, but think it will be a great way for our long distance family and friends to keep up with our busy lives. thanks to carmen, kathy, mary ellen and lara for the inspiration. summer is flying by already. we have spent the last three weekends at the lake and next weekend is mimi camp. should be tons of fun!

where we are now: phil and i celebrated 10 years of marriage in january of this year; luke william is now 39 months and mark rhoades is 19 months. both are completely wild and, oh yeah, they are featured in a line of frames on sale now at wal-mart (i am a little bit proud!). we are in the midst of a painting project -- our house turns 100 years old this year. it was gold for about 50 years, peach for the next 50 and by the end of this week will be brown. we are really excited about how it is looking. pictures soon...

here are a couple of pictures that are pretty funny - one is luke @ hog bash 2006 and one is mark @ hog bash 2008. behold the LAST smocked outfit ever to be worn by a brissey boy!
