Finally we are doing this

Yes we've finally started our family blog. We started planning this months ago with high hopes of following through with it. And then... we discovered that we could download "The Bill" and we lost several months of evenings. Yup - a serial police drama stole five months of our lives. Part of my gradual withdrawal plan involves finding interesting ways to kill the evenings and so here we are.

We are creating this blog for our family and friends. Perhaps our humble little blog will help in drawing us closer together ( failing that you may have some good laughs at our expense). Here we are, Derek and Jill holding Olivia and Ivy on our favorite hike this year. This beautiful lake is one of the reasons we love it here. Ok - the awkward first entry is done.
