Remeber When?

2006-01-08T22:04:00.000-05:00

While attending an Epiphany party the other night, some old friends were trying remember what I looked like with (long) hair....or any hair...

So, I dug up this old picture from right after Andrea and I were married.

After that, I liken my hair being naturally removed to that sound effect you here during A Charlie Brown Christmas when the needles fall off of there little tree.

Merry Christmas!

Another blessed Christmas for the Stewarts, and with the aid of our new digital camera...we can share things with you almost instantly. Here are a few candid shots from Chirstmas eve Mass and Christmas Day.

"Why yes...my uncle does golf with Alice Cooper, doesn't yours?"

2005-09-21T21:13:00.000-05:00

Since I'm in a posting mood...This was just to funny not to post...

Apparently while doing concerts in Norway, Mr. Cooper wanted to play some golf. When he asked who would be the best person in Norway to hit the links with, everyone cheered "Arne".

So there you see it...my uncle golfing in Norway with a heavy metal legend...I wonder if after the round, they beat the hell out of their equipment with their drivers...?

Rock on ARNE!

Finally!

Well after many months of "I really need to..." and some gentle urging from my newly found (after being long-lost) high school chum Josh, I have FINALLY hooked the scanner back up in order to provide friends and family with our most recent family portrait (click the image for the printable version for framing in an 8x10 frame).

As you can plainly see the kids get bigger and cuter, Andrea gets hotter! (I really don't deserve this woman), and I just get balder. Although I will say the "confused dunce" look is less pronounced for some reason.

Enjoy!

On another topic, we finally listed our home with a realtor and I have had less interest in the house now than when I was doing a For Sale By Owner thing...explain that one...

Well, it's offical...Our home is for sale...

2005-08-31T19:56:00.000-05:00

After months and even years of thinking about it, the Stewarts are finally putting the home that has loved us so well for 7 years... on the market.

Here's a bunch of pictures: http://hosted.yourimg.com/05/252/09/ALLhousepics.jpg

We are going to moving out of the area and joining the rest of the Clan Stewart in Kentucky as soon as the house sells. I guess I'll have to change the name of this BLOG...

More later...

Things continuing to progress...

2005-07-12T17:14:00.000-05:00

Well, the Stewarts are still kicking.

The AdLab is continuing to grow and the line of happy business owners is getting longer.
'nuf 'bout that though...

In case your just joining us, this blog is so that you can keep with the Stewarts here in Virgina. Feel free to post your comments and well-wishes, ask questions or even complain about the lousy traffic where you are.

I need to get my scanner hooked back up so that I can post our recent family portrait for your downloadable enjoyment. Check back soon...

Genuinely,
The Stewarts

Ok...Ok....I'll make a new posting

2005-05-18T08:26:00.000-05:00

I saw a friend the other day that mentioned he checked this sight fairly often, and was a little disappointed that I hadn’t updated it in a while…he was right…I’m a slacker.

Nonetheless, here we go…

There have been some negatives in Stewart world, and some positives…mostly positives. The job that I left ClearChannel for ended in February (nether good nor bad) so I had to find a new gig. Didn’t find anything for a while (bad) and then finally, through Andrea’s brother Tim, landed a position with a company in Harrisonburg (good) selling commercial telephone systems (bad) in the Winchester Front Royal area (good). At last I had a paycheck rolling in (good) but it was so tiny (bad) that I felt I had to quit and do one of 2 things: Find another job in a higher paying part of the state, around D.C. (bad) or start my own firm (good). I choose the second option, and as of early May ’05, The AdLab was born. Before you ask what the AdLab is, go check out the website: http://www.theadlab.biz/.

So far, I have had a very good response from business owners and I am just working on getting some paying customers in the door.

As this new era in the Stewart family’s existence begins, please keep us in your prayers.

God bless,
Collin

...and she loves it! Kiki is always pointing out (loudly) that "baby sleeping!" That 's a great gag isn"t it?

Welcome HOME!

The Virginia Clan Stewart would like to welcome home it's newest recruit, Marian Zita Stewart. We recruited Marian on a recent visit to Winchester Medical Center where Collin is going to continue his hair loss treatment. At the rate he's going, Collin hopes the treatments will have him completely bald by 2007. But I digress...Marian was seen hanging out near one of the "chicest" delivery rooms early in the morning on August 18th. We got to talking to her and found out that she was really looking for a position with a family that had a lot of other kids, noise and an unending supply of hotdogs with mac and cheese. Seemed like a perfect fit from the get go. As soon as we upped the offer to include a warm bed and unconditional love...well, let's just say that that sealed the deal. So at 4:46am, the contract was signed and Marian was officially a part of the Clan. The main negotiator of this deal, the lovely and talented Andrea worked long and hard on this contract and was very tired after the deal closed but was pleased that it went very smooth and wasn't nearly as intense as previous negotiations. As you can see, the rest of the Clan was excited about having a new member to work with. Rumor has it that they're all planning a surprise wedgey for her on her first anniversary with our organization...Good luck with all that Marian... (You can click the images to to view larger ones)

Marian still sacked out, but in HUMUNGO BABY VISION!

Progress in Front Royal

Well, things continue to move forward here in happy land. I'm 2 weeks into my new job, learning a lot and losing more hair. I did write my first HTML coded website (It's not out on the web though). Andrea is about to POP any day. She thought she was having labor contractions a few days ago, but it was really just the result of her eating something that I cooked...I don't remember what it was though....

Look for pictures of the baby soon. Baby or not, we are planning on having a baptism this coming Sunday (8-22-04) so If any of you'd like to join us. Just let us know...

The Kiddy PIc!
