The last year for us has been rewarding and peacefully uneventful. Jasmine is now 2 ˝ years old and is becoming a funny little person. One of the things that we’ve come to love is her innate sense of empathy for animals. She enjoys spending time in our garden, watering and harvesting straw-boos. We’re hoping that Jasmine might have a sister or brother sometime in the near future.
Pat got a full time job working at Liquid Digital Media working on software that allows people to legally download music from the internet. He’s also working on getting a certificate in Digital Signal Processing from Berkeley.
Jasmine and Chris got to spend three weeks this summer with Grammie and Grampa in New Hampshire. Chris got to reconnect with her special high school friends, and pick blueberries!

In October we had an Apple Juice squeezing party. Our friends helped harvest and clean all the apples from our tree. We rented a big screw press and pressed 20 gallons of apple juice. The fresh juice was incredible and everyone took some home. We plan to do it again next fall so mark your calendar for October 2005!
Love, Pat, Chris, Jasmine, & Molly
