Ryan,& Jessica.We have a pet ferret,Charlie.I guess the only thing we are missing is
a maid named Alice & the ability to solve all of life's problems in 30 minutes!

With a family of this size,it's rather obvious we have a wide array of interests.So
I'd like to tell you a bit more about each family member.

... Jennifer plays flute,loves shopping & talking on the phone.Her current main interest is "Nick".

He has a wonderful imagination & keeps us laughing.
