Turn off the Fausett

Here's the Fausett family. They're really happy. Here's daddy according to Ike. That was 922 days ago. There was also the wild day when they found mud in the bird bath and TP in the potty. 929 days ago. And who could forget the ode to Michelle, posted 931 days ago. But it all came to a halt 651 days ago with a (2 picture) retrospective of little Elijah. On that fateful day, the posts stopped flowing from the Fausett family. Not even a drip.

Taking Skok of the situation

The Skok family is a modern bunch. They have a blog so that's pretty good. They also have a photo gallery. Even better. Unfortunately the blog only has 3 posts and the photo gallery is a bit, shall we say, on the lame side? (One of my personal favorites here...looks like half the family went for a bathroom break.) It was a good attempt but unfortunately the Skoks just couldn't cut it in the blogosphere.

It's a bit of a sore spot...

The Soresen family has got it all. By "it all" I mean a goofy photo of the family in karate outfits. It all started out pretty promising on July 27, 2008 with a prophetically-titled post "First Attempt." Tragically, as is the case with so many well-intentioned blogs, the first attempt was also the Sorensen's last because that's the whole blog. Hopefully they're too busy breaking planks of wood with their foreheads to contribute.

Hoelter skelter

Here are the Hoeltings. This blog starts out very promising. On September 25, 2006, one family member goes in to detail on the benefit of families in general and why the Hoeltings are such a good one. I was totally with her. Unfortunately the first post was also the peak for this blog, it gets crappy fast. After we're treated to the musings on family, we're given a couple of test posts and some junk about Harry Potter. Finally, on August 25, 2007, we're given our last look at the Hoelters, a glimpse of their visit with Bob the Builder at the Omaha Children's Museum. I guess the experience was simply too overwhelming for the Hoeltings to go on.

Swing Lowe, sweet chariot

The Lowe family blog starts out on November 28, 2008 with noble and lofty intentions. Here it is in its entirety:

My first post is my first blog post ever. I had to just get something started on the blog. If I didn't start then I'd spend all my time looking for skins, blogging software, how to articles, and never get around to actually writing anything!

Stay tuned for more about what this blog is about and what content you can expect.

Well, I guess Mr. (or Mrs.) Lowe was just another casualty in the war against skins, blogging software and how to articles because that is all there is. Too bad. I had high hopes for the Lowes.

Ghost town

Welcome to Brooksburg. Population: 6. The happiest place on Earth. I mean, just look at Maxwell. This kid never stops. And who could forget September 24, 2008? That was the day of the banana boat family reunion. But I think this really sums up why Brooksburg is such a wonderful place. At least it was up until December 13, 2008. That's when the fun stops. For all of us.

Goede and gone

Ah, the Goede family. I really liked them. They were the real deal. I remember when precious Jack came into the world. And who could forget June 24, 2008? That was the day the photo galleries were added to flickr. A blog-worthy moment if there ever was one. So where are the Goedes now? Goede only knows.

Dunn like dinner

Meet the Dunn family. The Dunn's are a simple clan. They only had one desire in the world. For Jack to eat his vegetables. Well, on June 8, 2009, he did. Now the Dunns are done with blogging. Congratulations, Jack.

A blog too Farr

Meet the Farr Family. Little Boston has turned 1. Halloween 2008 was a blast. And let's not forget grandma's birthday. Unfortunately, looks like November 30, 2008 was D-Day for the Farr clan. Happy trails!

Bowen in the wind

Not much to say about this. Guess things didn't work out for the Bowen family.

The Penner is mightier than the sword

Let's start with the proud Penner family. Mom, dad, 2 kids...a perfect unit. When I read their 2008 New Year's letter, I was truly touched. The trip to Disneyland, the winter festival, and who could forget building racers at Chick-Fil-A? Classic.

Then on November 19, 2008, it just stops. What happened to the Penners? What's going on with Noah and Christian? Will Matt ever move above 2nd trumpet in the Robert Holts Orchestra? We'll never know.
