Family Status:

Isabel Helena (daughter): now 12 years old. Isabel is a teenager (although technically not 13 yet). She is very funny and actually loves middle school and all her friends. She is in Ballet V (Pointe) and Modern 6 in DanceWorks Academy now, and will be in Ballet Camp for part of the summer, when not swimming and hanging out with friends.

Jerry Anton Bilek III (partner):now 41 years old. Still a book-y kind of guy. Loves to show people our basement. Plans to start brewing his own beer any day now. Any day. Really.

Griffin (dog/friend): now 6 years old. Thinks everyone needs their faces licked upon first meeting. Is very concerned about the location of his many toys. Likes to remove eyes from stuffed animals (a bit scary, but the truth).

Jake (cat/co-habitant): Jake is now 20 years old. Tolerates the presence of people and dogs. Is still trying to figure out why we are all around all the time. Likes to sleep with Isabel.

Julie: well, you must know me or else why are you looking at this page? I'm 47 now, and not feeling old yet (it helps to have an active child, and a creative mind, and insomnia, and an intellectual mission...)

In 2003-4, we built a new house (see photo gallery to the left),and we'll be updating photos of trips soon (one to Scotland and London in 2007 and this summer to Olympic Penninsula again for family fun)!
