| Around preschool time our kids came up with The Family Rules by
which we all tried to live & have fun ever since. |
| What the parents say.. | What the kids do.. |
| No TV | (Parents must) Dust |
| No candy | (Parents must) Clean rooms |
| No dressup | (Parents pay) One dollar |
| No (playing with the) cats | No (watching) news |
| (Kids) Be bad | (Parents give) More chances |
| Like drawings | Make more |
| No fun | No kisses |
| No playdates | No love |
|
| We married in Copenhagen |
Below are a few family pictures taken within the last year.
 |
We celebrated a kid birthday at home; along with being the
bingo master assistant, Tom was in charge of the pinata.
We won't even get into all the fun we had with "Pin the tail on the Donkey"..

 |
Over the years we have expanded our list of favorite
authors, Bruce Coville being one of the additions.
Reading "The Skull of Truth":
- This kids acquires a human skull, which forces
him to always tell the truth & nothing but the truth. |
 |
Tom had just returned from Taiwan & our dentist had just left town for a couple of days, so when
we had a family emergency due to an infected tooth, he became the focal point for comfort.
-- Much better than a dose of Motrin..
