Oh, Hi

You found us! Welcome to our little southern city, town, municipality, malignant sub-division, although technically we are a Census-designated place . We actually are in a former retirement community, I say former because all the kids followed their parents here (to mooch off their retirement homes in "Sunny Florida") and never left. Now they have started new generations here (like we did). Did you know all 4 kids were born at the same hospital? Come on down for a visit, we'd love to have you! If you don't mind the heat, humidity, hurricanes, alligators, love bugs and lightning. Oh yeah...that's why we come to see you!

All that aside, We're here and you're not, so we wanted to keep you up on all the happenings here, without harassing all 50 million of you with phone calls. Whatever did large families do to keep in touch before the Internet? Phone tree? Chain letter? Smoke signals?

You guys probably know all this already, but lets do a quick re-cap of where we're at, thus far...

  • Officially established June 9, 2008, unofficially January 2000


  • Cat's going to be 17 in March

  • Jill and John 16 in May

  • and Blake is 13 in April

  • Next year all 4 kids will be in the same school for the first time since 2004

  • Cat, John and Jill all get their drivers license's this coming summer(aren't you glad you don't live here?)

  • JJ's finally retired

  • I'm still slugging it out in the 911 center (for now)

  • Rocky, Nicky and Ming are all still fuzzy and lovable...and always begging for treats

We're guiding the young ones as they morph from kids to young adults, I hope its not going to be too painful, it isn't always easy, but with this bunch of whack-o's, it bound to be fun!
