Welcome to the new home of our website – byufan.net. Why byufan.net? Well, we were tired of our old domain name – it was hard for people to remember and hard to verbally tell people our email address. “byufan.net” is short and easy to remember. Best of all, it was available – so we took it.
New Furniture
Nancy and I decided we wanted to have a decorator help us do the front room. We wanted something that was elegant but not too formal, some seating where people could listen to the piano, and a place to store piano music that would hide the ugly music (music always gets beat up and dog-eared… Continue reading New Furniture
Diana in the closet
While waiting for our house to get finished we are living in a three bedroom apartment. Since there are not enough beds, we got the playpen out of storage and put Diana in it and into the walk in closet in one of the bedrooms. Diana doesn’t seem to mind sleeping there, but I’m sure… Continue reading Diana in the closet
Emily’s Birthday
Emily turned eleven on Tuesday December 12th. We celebrated by going to Leatherby’s for dinner and ice cream. The kids had lots of fun and made a big mess of themselves. Afterwards we went home and Emily opened her presents. She was happy to finally get a tomagachi like her sister Anne. Now they both… Continue reading Emily’s Birthday

Making Progress
It’s been a while since I updated the website but family vacation and selling our existing home took a lot of time. We had our home on the market for two weeks and ended up selling it for a pretty good price – not the highest price we could get but I preferred to have… Continue reading Making Progress
Halloween
This year was a pretty fun Halloween. Emily, Anne, and Caroline were all various incarnations of princesses (I think Anne wanted to be called a “spider countess”). Samuel was a knight and Diana was a bumblebee. I took all the kids trick-or-treating together and they seemed to enjoy it. After Diana got tired (halfway down… Continue reading Halloween
