With two cats in tow, we left the Bay Area and moved to Lafayette, Colorado. We decided to start the blog when we moved to keep up to date with friends and family and realized it was also an excellent way to document happenings in our lives.

Since our move our family has grown by two – April 2007 we welcomed Miss Elsie Lane Sladden and July 2010 we welcomed Silas Coster Sladden. Now our blog seems dedicated to them – but we still try to have some attention given to our other children (crenshaw and cricket).

A special thanks to mr. scott johnston (word press’s biggest promoter) for helping us finally make the move to word press.
