Before and After



I thought you would like to see some pictures of mom we just got from the doctor. Excuse the line in the middle, that is wher the paper was folded.

Request for input

OK, so I'm super excited for the trip next spring to South Padre and while I'll save my comments and recommendations for Samantha (like a need for a place to surf and skate), I do feel there is something that needs to be brought up before things progress too quickly. (Also, this might help alleviate Nick's worries about choosing the spot the next time.)

So I'll get straight to the point... Can we please call it something other than "reunion"?

Every time I hear the word "reunion", I'm reminded of going up to some canyon and either being forced to eat egg salad sandwiches, trying to avoid the wrath of some aunt on a rampage, or being reminded about how bad of dancers we are compared to some others in the family.

While I enjoy these memories, I think we need to change the name. So this blog is an open invitation to everyone to come up with a new name for these family vacations (i.e., Tustfest '07, or something better). We might not be able to have Mike's reunion jokes, but at least we would have better t-shirts than previous reunions.

Tustison Reunion a.k.a. Spring Fling

As all of you are aware, Dad and I would like to start a Tustison Reunion - the first to be held sometime next Spring. I know it is a little early, but we thought we would at least lock in a place and a time. It would be for a week. We can work out the details later. We have asked Samantha to check out places and find the best time. (with Mike as her assistant.) So having said that, please let Samantha know of your ideas, concerns, availability and any other things re: time and place. We hope to get everyone there if possible. We are excited about this - and hope you share the same excitement.

interesting read

I know it's already a couple of months old and some of you have probably read it but I found the question and answer session fairly interesting.

It's a little long--about three bathroom trips worth.
