Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a bike rider! Thanks to some quick research on
the Internet, we pulled down the older smaller bike and started practicing
yesterday. An hour one day and about 15 minutes the next with my holding his
shoulders a little bit, and we were successful! Here are some great pictures
of our brand new bike rider. I'm so proud of him!

 I could go on and on, but we have to load up and head over to his Oma's house.
All the ladies are over there (including his mom) and he wants to surprise
them.

 Way to go, Keith! You are my hero.

Yeah, these kids are rotten. But, oh well, they make me happy.

Sorry to all my friends and family that are just now hearing this. We haven't
done the best job of getting the word out. We are expecting our third little
Van Winkle in May! We've been working on a good way to let folks know. I was
hoping to redo the family site starting with the news, but that's going to have
to wait. So, I'm posting this (and it's going lots of places thanks to
http://www.posterous.com) in hopes to get the word out.

 For Christmas, Tiffany gave me (well really the both of us) the gift of finding
out what the baby was. And, it's a girl! We are giving a bit of margin for
error since the sono tech was trying to look without either of us knowing, but
we are pretty certain. If, for any reason, we get to take another peek, we'll
pass along any changes in the prediction. In the meantime, I've attached a
pick for your viewing pleasure.

 Peace!
Matt

As my foray down the road of web 2.0 technologies continues, I'm trying out a new method of posting blog-like content to several sites at once - my own, twitter and facebook.  I'm intrigued by posterous.  I'll let folks know what I think.  In the meantime, you might check it out:

Here is mine.

Peace!

Time to see what all the fuss is about
