			Angela is 9 years old. She is a New Year's Eve baby so nearly the whole world has a party on her birthday! She is a happy little girl who loves to smile. Angela loves music and sings, claps and dances whenever she hears it especially pleasing to her daddy is that she loves to listen to bluegrass music. I must be doing something right! Angela is now a fourth grader at Lancaster Christian School.
			Kimberly is 14 years old and is a freshman in Lancaster Christian School. She can best be described by one word, tenacious. Kimberly goes for the gusto in life and is a major supplier of the gusto in the lives of the people around her. Kimberly is turning into a good goalie in field hockey. Do I smell a scolarship in the future? She loves to ride dirt bike, and is now learning to ride horses. On October 14, 1999 Kimberly asked Jesus into her heart. It is going to be exciting to see this tenacious girl live for Christ.
			Pamela is our oldest daughter. She is 16 years old and is a junior at Lancaster Christian School. She is our miracle baby as her birth was very dramatic and both her and her mother's life were in considerable jeopardy. In the summer of 98, she decided she wanted to live for Jesus. Her heart is full of love for God and others. She loves to sing and worship, and is an encourager by nature. "I like to play Ultimate Frisbee with our church, and I like to play soccer for the Lancaster Christian Lancers. I play goalie and center mid."
			Travis is 18 years old, the oldest of our children. He is a SENIOR at Lancaster Christian School, and a licensed driver! He loves The Lord of the Rings, his X-box 360 (particularly the Halo series), and Punk Rock.
			Loretta is old enough to vote. Without Loretta our home would be a shambles. She is a woman who greatly reveres God and it shows in the woman she has become after years of getting to know Him. She diligently manages our home, gets the children to school, and is the first and often only contact between the children's teachers and the home front. Loretta is my right arm when it comes to leading our family.
			Me? I'm Tom. I am older than I was, but younger than I'll be. That's not unusual. I have been a Christian for 28 years. I work at Upper Merion Area Middle School as a technology teacher (my teacher site) and am a committed member of CrossWay Church of Lancaster, a Sovereign Grace Ministries team-related church. I have been riding motorcycles since I was a young pup. My current mount is a 1988 Honda Goldwing. The best bike I ever owned was my 1984 BMW R80ST. Click here for some pictures and stories of my life on bikes.
			Duke has come. After almost a year of being dogless, we found Duke. He joined our family in May, and it already feels like he has always been with us. Duke is half German Shepherd and half poodle. He has been growing very quickly and learning a lot. He his very affectionate and spunky. It took a while getting his sleeping arrangements straightened out, but we finally got him out of our bed and into his own (next to ours). Since Duke has come, Apache (see below) no longer owns the house. He comes around our house now and then and we feed him and talk to him, but he is now an outside cat.
			Apache is the cat we never thought we'd have, and that I never wanted. When we bought the new house on Apache Lane it came with a nice barn. In that barn were several cats. I like cats in the barn. To shorten the story; Apache developed a large open wound and I graciously agreed to have the cat treated at the vet. Cha-ching. The cat needed medicine. Cha-ching. The cat couldn't stay in the barn until the wound was completely healed. The cat stayed in the basement with my blessing until the wound was healed. Then It started to turn up in other places in the house. Long story short; the cat owns the house. We got Apache spayed. Cha-ching cha-ching. Now the cat hates me. You know what they say, "Dogs have masters. Cats have staff." I love dogs.
