Aaron - I live a happy life surround -ed by corn in the middle of Iowa with my lovely wife and four kids. Occas- sionally I run off to a shady part of Des Moines in the middle of the night to run remote-control trains.
Julie - I'm a stay at home mom and I fill my days with my four fabulous children. I also find time in there to read (a lot) and scrapbook our endless exciting adventures.
Spencer - Age: 6 - Has a deep and abiding love for all things Trans- formers. His favorite activities are watching the animated series on DVD and introducing all Miya's toys to his new Transformers he got for his birthday. He's also recently developed a love for drawing and enjoys drawing pictures of his family and various scary monsters. He started First Grade this year and loves it! He also love to build things out of legos, trios, blocks, or whatever.
Miya - Age: 5 - Loves the Disney prin- cesses. It's hard to tell which is her favorite but she knows all the songs from The Little Mermaid and often acts out scenes with her new Ariel doll. She also enjoys chasing the neighborhood animals around. She is in Kindergarten and really blossoming this year.
Amelia - Age: 2.5 - Thinks she's a big girl all the time and it is so cute to watch her. She recently picked up coloring and when finished has to bring me her artwork and say, "I draw beautiful!" She loves being read to and will bring me book after book, I can never refuse her "pretty peece!"
