Our Debut

Time to finally "get up with the times" and start our own blog. We are the "politicolsens" of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Nathan (38), Allison (just turned 37 -- happy birthday!), Adam (15 and only a few months shy of the "dating" phase except that he won't be able to take a girl on a date without his parents driving until November 18, 2008, more on that later), Jessica (11 and aspiring gossipist), Matthew (8 and prolific book writer), Christina (6 going on 14). We also have two dogs -- Cooper, who we also like to call "fatty" because he is about 20 pounds overweight, even though he thinks that he is a little dog and tries to cuddle in your lap with his 100 pound body causing your legs to go numb. And Sadie, a littler you-know-what who chews on everything and torments the squirels in the backyard.

We all lead very busy lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Generally, it is out of control. But we try to keep it moving in the right direction. We just finished our first lenghty family vacation by troopsing about California. We will try to post some pictures of that extravaganza.

Anyway, much more to come!
