Meet the Barron Family:

Hi! We are the Barron's. We live in Phoenix, AZ.

Tim is 29 years old. He is self-employed, and sells classic vinyl (old records) on the internet at World Wide Wax. He loves music--his favorite being the Blues. He likes Jazz a lot too. His favorite musician is Josh White. Tim likes to read, travel, go to the movies, play with his kids, and watch college football.

Wendy is 25 years old. She is a stay-at-home mom, and helps Tim with his business. She also loves music. Her favorite musician is Sinead O'Connor. She loves to read, write poems & stories, is an amateur photographer, loves traveling, and playing with her kids.

Sahara is 4 years old this September. She was born in Vietnam and adopted at 8 months of age. She is currently employed as a big sister and "Mama's Helper." She loves to wash dishes with Mama, and help with cooking. She loves to swim, draw, color, cut & paste--anything that is artistic. She loves to dance and sing and is quite good at it. She is currently a coach potato as she has discovered the world of children's videos--her favorite being Madeline. She knows the whole movie by heart and is upset that we didn't name her "Madeline." She is now lobbying to start dance classes...

Ryland is 13 months old. He was also born in VN, and was adopted at the age of 11 months. He is a busy little guy, exploring our home, and getting into mischief. He is a very happy baby, and loves attention. He really likes music too and will even dance when Sahara is singing. He loves to gobble down mass quantities of food, and we occasionally (lovingly) call him "Chunky Monkey." He has a small vocabulary of Vietnamese and English words. He is in total admiration of his big sister, Sahara.
