About a little guy that lives in a two world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just two
Like him inside and outside

Official Poopie of the new millennium!
Added January 21, 2000
Sorry we haven't updated the site recently. We moved into our new house in December and it was Christmas before we knew it. We spent the week after Christmas unpacking and cleaning up, though we did take one day to visit the New England Aquarium in Boston. If you've got a Windows-based PC (sorry, nothing else will work), you can download a large (456KB) video from our trip! Click here to download the video. Note: It's in ZIP format; just unzip it and run the file that comes out. 

Since the beginning of the new year, it's been business as usual. We've finally got some snow here in Boston and Mark has been talking alot, saying things like "more," "all done," "bravo," "bye bye," and more regularly. We've got a ton of photos to upload, but didn't have a compatible scanner until just yesterday: We've switched over to Windows 2000, so we had to buy a new USB scanner that works with the new operating system. So we're finally set with that and hope to get some new pictures up soon.

We've moved all of the older pictures to different pages so the site doesn't load so slowly. Check them out for a look back at the world's cutest baby!
