Very cool! We could've probably spit on each other... if we'd wanted to... which I wouldn't have, but whatever... ;-)
A couple more family commonalities: My daughter(Lydia) has been married to Tim the timber framer for 15 years this month. They home school 3(Nick was with me on the truck bed) and also use wind and solarpower. I am sure Tim would love to talk with your husband sometime.
