This is my beautiful wife Kirsten. We were married on July 27th 1996.

My wife has a wonderful daughter. Her name is Becca (short for Rebecca). When she was 5 years of age I was already trying to teach her how to play tuba. And she could blast two really good notes too. Now she is playing baritone (actually euphonium to be technically correct) in the school band.

On November 29, 1997 we added another member to our family. His name is Jonathan Ray. Sometimes we call him Jr. The first picture is Jonathan wearing real clothes (not sleepers) for the first time at 1 month old, and his six-year-old homeschool picture.

Our final entry into our family was Kiyanna Grace, born February 17, 2001. She was born at home into my hands. This was not the original plan, but was nonetheless exciting, to say the least. Fortunately she does not seem traumatized from my face being the first thing she ever saw.

We all live in a nice house in one of the northern suburbs of Denver, Colorado. I like our house very much. It is a two-story with a basement. It has three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. The Great room (dining room, study and family room separated by an island), a half bath and the master bedroom with bathroom on the main floor. The basement is finished and has a bathroom with shower, one bedroom, laundry/utility room and a large play room. The yard is small enough to keep up with, and there are lots of old mature trees. The only thing more I could wish for is a slightly wider space to park our camper. I guess it's good to keep my backing up skills in top shape.
