Nous sommes les zinzins de California, reconnus par l'Etat !!!
We are the official "zinzins" of California, DMV approved!!!

Here we are: the Stock Brun Berhaut family,


all eight of us!!!

This is a rare photo, all eight of us together. On Mother's Day in May 2006, all of the children accepted our invitation to defer their pressing social obligations and brunch with us at Seascape Resort in Aptos, one of Santa Cruz's local hidden treasures.  A tourist who had been admiring the view took this one, and we greatly appreciate her results. It's not perfect, of course, but we had all eaten well and were on a relaxing after-brunch stroll down to the beach.

We are a his, hers and theirs family, what they call blendedCharles and Alex, in the back row and 10 and 8 at the time of the above photo, are our joint efforts.  Alban (16 in the picture) and Daphné (18), both on our left in the photo, are hers, and Nick (19) and Tom (16), on either side of their dad, are his.  The collective makes up our big, noisy whirlwind of energy.

At times we are more agitated or churned up than blended, and at other times we're blended smooth as silk.  It's all in the pictures!

 

This website is in two parts:

First, a family photo album covering the first almost fourteen years in our collective lives, from 1994  through the end of 2007. It is a portrait of these years arranged by people and themes;

Second, a family journal beginning in 2008 and again based on our photos. The difference is that we'll just keep it going chronologically, rather than trying to organize our reminiscences by themes, most of which end up spanning years.

  

And congratulations!!!  You have arrived at one of the least visited sites on the entire Internet! 

Hit Counter visits since March 27, 2007.

Sites like ours are proof that Bob Dylan saw the precursors to the Internet about forty years ago when he "Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'." We're whispering here.

We wish you well if you should stop by and browse for a while.

Website most recently modified in November, 2008. Upgrading in progress, but slow: some pages look a lot better than others.  We crave your indulgence.
