Roxie is going to be 3 years old, soon! Hard to believe… Roxane Louise was born at 8:32am on January 14, 2002. She was 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and 20 1/2 inches long.
Heartfelt thanks for everyone’s love, support, well wishes, and emails! We dearly appreciate our families and friends.
🙂 Michael and Michelle

Roxane and all,
Life is good! There are so many little things that you learn each day, that it is hard to keep track. New words, now there are new sentences – a couple of the latest new words that blew me away – pronounced perfectly – were, ‘chocolate’ and ‘helicopter’, and they were in a sentence, too. ‘Daddy, I want chocolate’ and ‘Look at the helicopter’ – awesome…

Roxane and all,
We have been on an excellent production server, in one of the data centers where I work, for a couple of months. The new Gallery install is up and running with 445 images to dig through! The albums and images need the titles edited, but that will be another day! I have two exposed rolls of film to take for developing, so should have a few more photos up there, shortly. Roxane has lots of words, and can string 2 or 3 together sometimes, and she should have a few sentences down in no time! Thanks for stopping by!

Roxane,
Busy – busy! I have not had much time to write, here, but life is good! Roxane will be talking soon – she already has a good grasp of “bye, bye,” “no,” “mama,” “papa,” and mumbles a lot to us – she will repeat things, like we are supposed to understand. Mom and Dad were here last weekend, and Dave and Mel came down to eat dinner Friday night, then stay up late chatting, and waiting for Roxane to go to sleep… Here she comes, running into the office! I have spent a good bit of spare time installing a new server, and compiling PHP, netpbm and all the libraries needed for image manipulation, to run Gallery. I will get some time to update the text, sometime, unless there are any creative volunteers 😉 Let me know if you want a login, so you can upload images to the server, or if you want to help update the album and image tags. This is currently on DynDNS, so go to http://www.pbandjelly.org/gallery/ (now on this server) to see the gallery. Again, please let me know if you want a login to post to your own albums – the more the merrier!

Roxane,
Thanksgiving was wonderful! Grandma Linda and Grandpa Ben flew in for a long weekend, and Uncle Dave drove down from Austin for a visit. We all went to Grandma Mary Kate and Grandpa Sam’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and everyone was amazed at how much food you ate – you fit right in with the rest of us. We had a grand feast! We took you to the McNay Art Museum on Friday morning and had a wonderful time – highly recomended museum to anyone that has not been. The estate and grounds are beautiful, and the collection is extensive. After the museum we all went back to Mary Kate and Sam’s house for leftovers (yum!), then spent the evening on the Riverwalk watching the holiday parade – great fun! On Saturday, we hung around the house and Dad and I built closet shelves in our bedroom. In the afternoon, on November 30, in front of Mom and Michelle – YOU WALKED YOUR FIRST STEPS!!! Yahoo! and Oh, no… hehehe! 10 and a half months and starting to walk. Dad snapped a few photos of you walking and we all watched and cheered as you kept taking a few steps back and forth between us all. It was a great weekend with family – this is what Thanksgiving is all about.
