family
Sandy and I met in the fall of 1998 and started dating in 1999. We were work colleagues. Shortly after dating in a moment of crazed idiocy, we moved in together. And we became a family of 5. Two humans and three kitties. We lived in a small apartment in San Francisco for a couple of years.
We married in October of 2001 at the Cliffhouse in San Francisco. We both got very, very drunk and had a wonderful time.
In July or August of 2002 we bought our first home. We couldn't afford anything in the city proper, so we moved across the bay to Berkeley.
In July of 2004, we sold the condo and bought a house in Berkeley. Then we started multiplying.
Taylor joined us in August of 2004, and she considers herself our daughter and first child.
In November of 2004, we got pregnant and decided what the hell, let's throw another puppy into the mix, so we got Kenzie in January of 2005. Taylor considers Kenzie the family pet.
Eliot was born in August of 2005. He's our only 2 legged child. He gets a lot of attention.
By the time he was a few months old, the girls had already reached full size.
Today, Eliot is a great sport about his girls. He happily tosses the ball the Kenzie and never seems to mind when they accidentally knock him over. They in turn try not to take away his snacks.
