The Burton Family

Welcome to our site.

This is me. Once a care free individual void of all sense of reason and accountability living for only the simple pleasures that life had to offer me. That all changed one day however when I happened to walk into a certain office to fix a copier. The women behind the desk was one Beverly Stearns. We talked much and she asked me if I would call her daughter and ask her for a date. Little did Beverly know what seed she had planted that day. For you see I ended up marrying her daughter (the young lady pictured below) and nothing has been the same since.

This is my wife Lori. This picture was taken just before I took her to the hospital for eating that entire cake (just kidd'n). Lori is, amongst other things, a foreign language teacher of Spanish and Russian, a fine cook, a fine mother and Immediate past president of the "Martha Stewart Fan Club". Lori is probably the only person on the planet that loves animals more than I do, which is the most likely reason she agreed to marry me in the first place. She is also my best friend. When we got engaged, we had it all planned. Marriage, apartment, house, dog and then our first child. We just recently discovered that the first four items were cream cheese compared to the fifth. This brings us to the next installment in the continuing Burton saga, our pride and joy, Amelia.
