A Proclaimation to All

It has come to my attention that there are many of you who frequent this blog regularly. Because of this, I have received many requests to update and edit our blog more often than I have been. Unfortunately I have been ridiculed, mocked, and scorned by many for my apparent inability to fashion our blog to the liking of our thousands of visitors. I will state this once and only once. I will not be persuaded to post anything recklessly or more swiftly than I am comfortable with. There are many daily occurrances at the Brown home that are more than worthy to be posted on this blog, but I will decide, and no outside evil influence will convince me, that I HAVE to post so heedlessly. It's not because I'm lazy or have poor spousal support on this blog, although at times it may appear so. It has to do with my personal decision to post or not to post.

Hopefully this will help all of those who constantly try to influence me to post. I would appreciate it if your ugly language, thoughts, and deeds would stop. I have lost many a sleepless night and tears because of your unnecessary actions.

Taylor Laughing and Crawling!

Taylor has been crawling for a couple weeks and last night she pulled herself up against the couch! She is growing up too fast. She will be 8 months on the 4th of September.

Our View

Here is the view from our balcony in our room.

Jenny's Friend

Here is Jenny relaxing with a new friend before we went on an excursion. Jenny's probably having a better conversation with this guy than one she had with me on the entire trip.

Our Waiters

This is Mile and Victor. They were our waiters the whole trip. They brought us everything from lobster to New York steak. They also kept us entertained by bringing us an endless supply of chocolate melting cake.

These are our good friends Rachel and Danny Labrum. They went with us and they wouldn't have had nearly as much fun if we hadn't gone with them. I think Rachel's favorite part of the cruise was Mile and Danny seemed upset about it until Victor brought us the chocolate melting cake. After you eat that nothing else matters. The Labrums made the cruise 10 times more fun.

Our Cruise

Here is Jenny and I on deck the first day of our 10 year anniversary cruise. Long beach is in the background. What isn't in the background are our kids!

Here is Jenny and I at Senor Frogs. It's a crazy place to eat lunch. Between congo lines and having marshmellow fights we barely had enough time to eat.

Four Performers

Here are the four performers after the recital.
