The Dixon Digest Rebirth

Welcome folks, to the new Dixon Digest, brought to life in the blogosphere! After long lapses between Dixon Digest issues, Mark decided that a new format was necessary to ease the process of preparing photos and publishing the DD. The new plan is this:

1. At least weekly, Mark will post a few photos to this blog (http://dixondigest.blogspot.com).

2. In addition to the photos shown in this blog, we invite you to visit Mark's Flickr photostream, where he will post several other photos of the family.

3. If you click on any photo in this blog, you will be taken to the Flickr page for that photo, where you can download any resolution you would like.

4. Mark will send a copy of the weekly blog post to the Dixon Digest email list. If you want to be added to the list, please send Mark an email.

5. An archive of the "old style" Dixon Digest is still available if your would like to look back over time.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.




So, here we go for the inaugural post ...

The big event in November was the return of Eric after a two year mission to Mongolia. We had a delightful time welcoming him at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport the day after Thanksgiving.

We celebrated Eric's 21st birthday a month late after we returned home from the airport.

In somewhat unrelated news, Holly got attacked by the mysterious rubber chicken that seems to turn up in all sorts of interesting places. After Mark brought the chicken home from a trade show, it just seemed to find its way into Claudia's makeup drawer, under Ryan's pillow, into the glovebox of the car, and into Eric's bed the night he got home. Wonder where it will show up next?


Holly got attached by the rubber chicken once again.


So ... please let us know what you think. We'll tweak things now and then, and hope to be more regular on informing you about the happenings in the Dixon household.

Ah, the DD! Good stuff. Mark, did you mean a two YEAR mission? Just curious. ;)

(It says month in the e-mail. Looks like you already fixed that here.)

Thanks, Katie, for dropping by. Yes, I goofed with the year/month thing. One of our family friends caught it earlier today. But it is great to know that some people are actually reading it!

We sure enjoyed having you visit us. Hope you can come back again soon.
