I'm enjoying this...and some photos of our family

I'm really enjoying the intellectual dialogue. One thing I want to point out--if I'm not mistaken--is that it's Kateri who wrote the first post of November, the political commentary. Monica joined thereafter. Jeff, Dad, Monica and Kateri, this is great stuff. I don't have much to contribute right now, but I really enjoy the read as well as the respectful tone of the communication. That's impressive considering the weight of the topics and the variety of viewpoints! Great to see.

Our love to Melanie, Rob and cutie Benjamin! We welcome the baby and are so happy that Melanie is on the mend. Of course, our hearts go out to them that they had such a difficult start. Athletic Mel will rise to the challenge! We wish her a speedy recovery.

Here are some recent photos.

What a beautiful family you have! As strange as it is, I don't think I've met your kids, but then again, I haven't seen you for YEARS. (I'm pretty sure I met Mike, but I wouldn't swear to it).

I don't know the next time I'll be over to the states (my company was purchased by bigger competitor and I have different responsibilities now as well as a stricter travel budget), but I'd love to see you guys next time I can get the clan over.

I really enjoyed seeing my kids romping around at Ken and Audra's this summer with all of their "cousins", it gives them some perspective on all the stories I tell about our family get together's from yesteryear...

Take care, and please throw a post or picture up every once in a while. It would be cool to strike a balance between serious discussion and just keeping in touch and sharing what's going on...
