Holiday letter, 2007

December 13th, 2007 Doug Posted in Holiday Letter |

Dear Family & Friends,

If you are receiving this greeting in paper form, we do not have you registered for an electronic greeting. Last year, we asked those of you who have an e-mail address to please register your address on dougandsuzanne.com. In an effort to use less paper and pursue “greener” greetings, we ask that you register your e-mail address on dougandsuzanne.com. Next year, you will receive a “green greeting”. ~ In the meantime…We wrapped up 2006 with a relaxing Mediterranean getaway visiting our great-aunt Sylvette in Cassis, France – right on the French Riviera. Our New Year was, as usual, quiet… and then arrived 2007…

Suzanne - I didn’t travel as much this year and rather enjoyed working closer to home and simply being home more. I was in N&S California, the UK, and in Florida - I did a series of parent education videos for Newbaby.com, and I did my first interview on a live L.A. news show – that was fun. The most notable of trips this year was a humanitarian mission to Belarus. The kids are doing great, the asylum is a proper children’s home now, and it’s one of my favorite places on earth.

Doug continues with his work at MP3tunes and leads a software team through the technological challenges that makes music storage accessible for music lovers everywhere. The days of storing physical compact discs are over. The digital age of music is here, and Doug and his team are building what has become the leading online digital music storage facility. Doug is still playing guitar, and he will be arranging and performing the music on Suzanne’s first CD of songs for infant massage – due out sometime in 2008.

Summer Bonuses: Doug donned his first hemp suit as Best Man for the eco-friendly wedding of his brother Chad and a lovely gal named Melissa. It was a friends & family-filled fun weekend. We are so happy to welcome Melissa into the family. Also, we were visited by our cousins from France, the Riou Family – that was so much fun!

Well, that’s pretty much it folks! As the New Year rolls around, we wish you all a happy and healthy 2008….and don’t forget, if you have an e-mail address, please register it at dougandsuzanne.com – thanks!…..Love, Doug & Suzanne
