The purpose of this web page is for family and friends (especially those far away) to see us, see our place, our dog, our garden etc. and otherwise keep tabs on us and our activities.
We had a tree fall on our shed but its not destroyed. We didn't really think to take any photos. Bummer.
I just put up some MORE new photos of the newest addition to the family (our neice Sarah Grace Churchill). Sarah was born in early July, 2005. I also made her page (and this one) valid XHTML (I'm getting there).
Donna bought a new car in early April.
Its a 2006 RAV4. At least we are both consistent in our vehicle purchases. Its very roomy and has a lot of cool features.
My favorite is that I can plug my iPOD directly into the stereo through an “aux” jack.
We had a recent death in the family. Our neice Andrea Gattens passed away on Thursday December 22nd, 2005. I put the obituary from the Cumberland Times News on my blog.
J.B. is enjoying his new job at the Appalachian Laboratory in Frostburg. He's working on a program to teach GIS to teachers in the Public School System. He's been there since late January.
Our dog Whitey passed away in early February and in late February we purchased a Maltese puppy. His name is Buddy and he is a handful. We are going to try and put together a whole gallery of pictures of Buddy. Naturally, we think he is adorable.
J.B. bought a
car in late March. It is another Chevy Cavalier like his old red one but this one is brand new (2005) and its blue.

Here is the car at one of J.B.'s favorite birding spots.
Our great nephew Owen (son of neice Sarah and her husband Reese) turned 1-yo recently. We had a great time at his birthday party. The long awaited gallery of Owen's photos is here.
