Quick index to my family:

• Mike (friend/husband)
• Mom (mom!)
• Rachel (little sister)
• Elliott(our son, born 8/25/2002)
• Cousins (the rest of the cousins)
• Janet (my greatest aunt)

Long rambling introduction to my family:

This is a link to a picture of me and my greatest pal, Mike, whose page is pretty much blank right now, because he works on computers all day, so the last thing he wants to do when arriving home hop on the computer any play with web pages! Or at least, that's my theory.

I might as well mention that we have lots of pets, since many people (including us) consider pets to be part of the family, and they certainly are friends.

I have a few pictures of my mom.

My sister Rachel and I found a salamander in our yard in the summer of 1998. I took several pictures with a digital camera, of her with the salamander. Then we put it back where we found it. We've also taken lots of pictures of her bunny Paula.

Here is Rachel when she was about 3, holding her favorite rooster Hattie. I made her a little Slide Show with her and her immediate family.. these pictures were all taken when she was 2 or 3 years old.

My step-father, George Wellman, received his PhD in Pharmacology in 1995 (Yee Hawww George!) and is now a faculty member at UVM. He, my mom (Theresa Wellman), and their daughter went to live in Leicester, England for two years (they're back now). George was doing some post-doctoral work there, and my mom was helping a lab there with ongoing research on the lungs of premature babies. To the right here is a picture of my mom and Rachel, taken in Spring 1998.

My great aunt Janet O'Brien (picture on left) makes really great, superbly constructed collectible teddy bears (no, I'm not biased!), and she also has a page on the web! Her company is called Zuzubears. Here's more Teddy Bear information. She also takes care of my mom's cousin Kelsy, pictured at right. She's a total cutie.

I have lots and lots of cousins. In fact, here is a page full of them! My oldest cousin Ryan and his awesome mom, Marie Gilmore are now "on the web"... Ryan, who's in high school now, is now setting up a home page, which is... one of the most vile, awful pages I've ever seen (granted, I don't get out much). His page hasn't existed at all lately, but you're welcome to have a look, but please remember.. cousin's aren't that closely related. :)

I have lots of other family members, but they don't have any sort of web presence so far, and I don't have time to write about them, but I love them all very much.

Here is a partial list of my friends, people I know, or like, or have met, or something. Friends with no web pages are not included for obvious reasons. :-)

• my friend and husband Mike. Unfortunately, his web page is almost nonexistant.
• My friend Stef, who has a born-again-web-page!!
• My friend Adam
• My friend Jerry
• My friend Jim
• My friend Chris

And last, this is a very weird picture of me eating a s'more while on a camping trip with Jim, Tracy, Stef, and Adam. Yipee!
