Well, now we have our own blog. There are a few things that I will probably blog about, including my savior Jesus Christ, my family, and my three year battle with severe hypothyroidism and myxedema. I anticipate that my wife, Jennifer, might want to blog here as well. Pictured at left is the family as it was at Christmas, 2006. Left to right are Troy, Kaj, Jennifer, Japheth, Silas, and Heike.
