Hello there. Come on in.

Our family lives in central Arkansas. Both Bryan and I work full time, and Mandy's a high school student. Our evenings are full of university classes, homework, supper, and laundry, just like everyone else's. Our weekends are largely occupied by caving, hiking and backpacking, bike touring and bike polo, and other outdoor activities. We like astronomy and kayaking and a hundred other things, too. It seems that our lives are always teetering on the edge between taking care of our responsibilities and wiggling out of them to go learn something new.

I've kept a kind of journal for years, and we all like to take photographs. Both those things, we've found, are ways of slowing down time and helping us learn to be present in the space we share. Beyond that, our pictures and stories help us remember what we've done together and they help us tell those memories to others. It makes sense for us to have a website and blog so that our scattered-out family and friends can follow along with our adventures.

Come along with us. Welcome to our website.
