I work as a software engineer for a company in Minneapolis.  I love traveling and lived in Belgium for 6 months in 1998.  I enjoy creating things, like software, and this garden shed. Lucy Inês was born in August of 2004.  At 4+ yrs old, her interests include books, princesses, and hearing Daddy tell her about how things work. Daniel Afonso was born in December of 2007.  At 9 mos, he now spends a lot of time smiling and smearing applesauce into his hair.
 
Jack is a 13-yr old Parsons Jack Russell Terrier who likes chasing stuff in the yard and generally doing his own thing.  He was born in Belgium, so naturally he speaks Flemish, English and a little Portuguese. Kirby is a 10-yr old Border Collie.  His interests include balls and frisbees, both of which he is obsessed with.  He dreams of one day traveling to Scotland, where his grandparents were born, and doing some sheep herding.
