July 22 , 2003 It's a Boy!! top of page
We went to the Crystals Gynocologist today with several members of Crystal's immediate family to FINALLY find out the sex of our next child. Without question, we are having a boy. Not too much mistaking the ultrasound screens! We are cery excited and are very much looking forward to having a boy. His official name will be Brandon Stanley Duncan, with his middle name named after my father. He has his own page, so check it out for more details and photos. I will keep this updated as I do Ashley's page.
July 22 , 2003 Ashley's First (official) Haircut top of page
Ashley was given her first haircut at a salon today and she was great about it. The barber said that a lot of kids get frightened when they start cutting, but Ashley thought it was great! She sat still the while time and enjoyed the whole thing. She was even looking forward to it before we went. Check out the photo album for a slideshow of some pictures.
Summer , 2003 Lots going on this Summer top of page
Well we are busy busy busy this summer with relatives coming into town, things going on, having a 2-1/2 year old on our hands and expecting another baby this November. Crystal's brother Aaron came to town with his new wife Rosie for a week towards the beginning of July. They also brought their 2 kids (Rosie's from a previous marriage) and the one they are expecting in October. We had a great time with them and it was very nice to Meet Rosie and her 2 kids Jada and Damien.
Crystal had 2 Aunts come into town right after her brother and family left, and was able to meet them for dinner one night before they left town again.
Crystal's Cousin Derrick is in town for a couple months and is staying with his uncle John. He is having a great time and is seeing places he has never seen before like Yellowstone park, Deadwood, SD and Mount Rushmore.
My sister Janet also came into town for a couple days and then made her way to Billings for a few weeks to attend my grandmother's services and to be at the family reunion. She will be back through Denver again on her way back to New York, so that should be fun.
Many other things happening, and Crystal hasn't even had time to turn around or breathe. She's getting closer to the delivery of the baby, so I will have to slow her down a little so the baby does not come early like the last one did. Easier said than done though.
We also want to get together with many of our friends who live in various parts of Denver before the summer's over, but so far we have not had time to yet. This is very different from normal because we like to keep in touch and visit our friends as much as we can, but it's been a crazy year.
05-26-03 Helen Sullivan passes away top of page
Helen passed away Memorial day of this year, and her memories will live on forever. She was a wonderful person and was surrounded and loved by family and friends much of her life. She died of natural causes and was just 3 days shy of her 88th birthday. I have very fond memories growing up with my grandmother always very near. I loved her dearly and will miss her very much, as will the rest of the family. She died in Billings, MT and was surrounded by many family members the last few days of her life. You can read her obituary in the Billings Gazette here. This photo was taken during the family reunion of 2002 in Billings, MT. Services will be held in Billings on July 31st, 2003. E-mail Jere Duncan for more details.

Crystal, Trish, & Ashley travel to Billings top
of page
Crystal, her sister Trisha, and Ashley made a trip to Billings for a few days to visit with relatives and friends. It was a very nice trip and she got to take the new minivan out for its first road trip. It was great timing because she was able to see several family members who were in town including Sue Duncan, Angi Duncan, Rachel Sullivan, Phyllis Sullivan, and Kerrie Sullivan. They were also able to see Helen Sullivan before she passed away, which will be very special to Ashley later years in her life. Crystal has written up a little info about the trip on the Events Page.

Ashley Duncan turns two top
of page
Can you believe it? Ashley is already 2 years old, and not stopping! Crystal threw a great party for Ashley that was attended by many family and friends. The theme was Monsters, Inc. and it was very cool. Ashley had a blast and got tons of stuff. It was also very close to my birthday (Doug) and our Stepmom (Lucy), so we were also included in the festivities. I also put together a photo album of the event.

Crystal found out she was pregnant and we will be parents x 2!! My birthday is March 22nd, so this was a wonderful birthday gift for me. We are very excited. The timing is perfect, and the baby is due in November of this year, which will put Ashley and number 2 about 2-1/2 years apart in age. We are very excited!! This time around we will find the sex of the baby, and will post it here as soon as we know. This should be sometime mid-July. More info here.

Doug Lands Job at Qwest top
of page
With the sign-of-the-times in this industry, I have yet another job, making this 5 jobs in 5 years. Not building up much retirement moolah that way. This might seem surprising, but this is the way the IT industry operates these days, with all the constant re-sizing going on. I am very happy just to have a job, because I know they are very tough to land these days, and I have several friends who can't even find work in the industry. I took this job before an inevitable layoff with my last company, AT&T Broadband. They were bought by Comcast and were undergoing big changes, which included giving about half the company the boot. Before that I worked at, US West, which was bought by Qwest, Citibank, CTL Computer, and 2M Company. I worked at 2M for 8 years before I decided to switch career-paths and go into the IT industry.

Web Sullivan passes away top of page
Web Sullivan passed away today in Livingston, MT. He was a great person and was loved by all of his family and friends, which he had many of. Web will always be remembered by me as a very generous and giving person, and the one who always had the video camera at all the family events while I was growing up. Web's wife Phyllis still lives in Livingston, MT. This photo was taken at the 2001 Family Reunion in Billings, MT.
