Editor's note: This was the lead article on the home page when The Birch Street Web debuted in March 2007.After an eventful 10 months in Sparks, Nevada, Marie and Brian moved back to California in February along with young Alexander. They found a very nice duplex rental in Morgan Hill.
"We're really loving our new house," Marie writes. "It's a huge step up from anywhere else we've rented. All the fixtures and appliances are nice and new."
Brian and Marie are now taking a larger role in the family business, Regal Ribbons, which has its shop in the same town. "Bridal season is starting, so work has been very busy," Marie writes. "We're doing well, and Brian is very happy with the work environment."
Brian worked for Regal Ribbons previously before going to work as a printer for Block Graphics in Paso Robles, Calif. It was Block that later closed that plant and transferred Brian to a new plant in Sparks. However, the company was then sold, and the Sparks plant was never properly staffed; Brian was its mainstay, and as soon as he gave notice that he was leaving, the owners decided to close the Sparks plant.
Of course the highlight of their brief residence in Sparks was the birth of Alexander on Oct. 4. As he approaches the 6 month mark, "Xander is getting really big," his mom reports.
"He's a little over 16 pounds now and wearing 6 and 9 month sized clothes." His top front teeth are starting to come in, too. These two photos are from early February.
