Our Families

We want to thank our parents for being gracious and understanding through all of the things we've put them through over the years.

Our Pets and Farm animals

We would be remiss if we didn't mention our personal zoo also. The Indoor Kids: Gui, Bugaboo, Robo, Blue, Sushi (RIP), Gin, Tonic, Johnny, Mars, and Jupiter. The Outdoor Kids: Molly, Obsidian, The McChickens, and the thousands of Georges. Our animals keep us in laughter and test our patience, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
