A list of our family’s adventures through this simulated universe. Strangely, this is represented by several methods. Firstly, my thoughts in words and then a host of two-dimensional images configured for the human visible spectrum. Finally the blog itself as a medium of information. Also, sometimes there is cake.

All Hallow’s Eve, an event that was eagerly awaited in the Renstrom household – at least by one little girl in particular.
