Rock band has taken over the family

This is how we usually spend our last hour before bed each night. (usually after Tommy goes to bed!)

Check this out. Tommy is 5 years old and looks to have a promising career on the drums. Just look at his little legs reaching for the pedal! Holy cow. Oh, and Michelle can lay down a mean guitar.

Michelle was born to rock. Just check out the snarl on that face!

I think Emmett's blog needs a woman's touch.

My desk

This is what my desk looks like at work.

Now this is cool. I can blog from my phone.

Cool beans!

Wow, I'll tell you what...I'm stepping up my game now. First RSS feeds and now a blog. Watch out, world!
