Santa did more than sample milk and cookies

I wish MJ and I could take credit for this, but on Christmas morning ... well, lets just say Santa didn't get out in time and we managed to get a picture of him. SJ takes credit for the placement, OA gets the nod for the TP. Few things could make a parent more proud.

Speaking of Christmas, here is a picture of the girls to test out the privacy option for flickr. Email us so we can activate your access to the personal pictures.

Starting out slow

Think it is best to start out slow. Just checking out the new blog, email, photohosting account. Sometime later, I'll get a free hosting spot for movies.

In case we forget some things during our emails and conversations with family and friends over our time in The Netherlands, we thought a blog would be a good place for folks to stop in and visit on their time. It would also be a chance to archive our time here.

I think for now, it will just be me posting until I can get the Mrs. MJ (all of us will use our first and second initials) SJ, and when she learns to type in complete sentences, OA - you will be stuck with me, GM.

Oh, if you like the photo, you can find the high-res here. It was taken a couple of kilometers away coming back from the German border. Better then the Northside, isn't it?
