It is with mixed feelings that timches.com is shutting down after 4 years. The short explanation is simple: we just don't have time for it anymore.
Updates are getting fewer and farther between, and I don't think that's fair to our friends and family who expect regular new updates and pictures. I am now working so intensely on the computer at work that I hardly want to touch a computer when I get home, and Chesney is now busy with her ebay business, TreasureChes. I had planned a redesign of timches.com, but just the fact that I've been working on it since November says a lot about how much time I don't have to devote to this.
It pains me to say that timches.com isn't the only casualty of our new-found business: My blog and Chesney's blog will be going by the wayside as well. Maybe one of these days we'll start blogging again, but for right now, we're overwhelmed. TimChes.com's web hosting will expire later this week, and there will be no renewal.
Don't worry though--we'll still keep in touch! An e-mail here and there, and we'll be sure to write letters and send out newsletters from time to time. You can always reach us at chestim[at]timches.com.
To all friends and family who have faithfully enjoyed the updates and pictures on this site, we are truly sorry, and hope to be able to start putting up pictures again in the future!
The End of TimChes.com

I find that kinda sad. I mean, where will I go now to show people pictures of myself from four years ago? What if I need a picture suddenly of Caleb's first birthday? or Thanksgiving 2004? or pictures from Shawn's continental concert? or when you went to monterey bay aquarium? Sure, I didn't go that time, but that doesn't mean that I don't like to look at pictures of fish with an outline of caleb's head in them. How will I be able to decide what website I'll go to first when I come on the internet and don't have any email? I just hope you know how complicated this could make things. This isn't a decision to be taken lightly.
No! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Nice April Fool\'s post. I don\'t believe a word of it.
Dang that's too bad. This website was a forerunner for the rest of our family.
NOOOOOO!!!!!! Now I wont be able to look at Calebs pics anymore!!!! I wont be able to look at my first basketball game!!:( NO! Im here in the Philippenes, so I cant see pics of Caleb and you guys and other happy times! Ugh! :( Im sad.
Why cant you keep da website but just dont update it. We still like to look at the other pics. PLZ DONT DELETE IT THIS WEBSITE!!!! PLZ!!!
April Fool's post? If it's not, I would suggest keeping the Website and updating only quarterly. Obviously, even that sometimes is hard. There's a lot of our friends who look at your Website. There's nothing like it.
"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."

"The great God endows His children variously. To some He gives intellect...and they
move the earth. To some He allots heart...and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs.
But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence...and these, who never grow up,
but remain always His children, are God's fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from
His palette the Artist of all has taken one color instead of many."
[--Mary Roberts Rinehart--]
What???? What will happen to us (that includes people from TURC, WCPC, etc.) who just want to click on timches to know what's happening to the Malabuyos, Camachos, Crows, Junios, Epps, Millers, etc., etc., etc.. Where will we go to see Caleb again & again & again & again? What if I want to see and hear Caleb sing and dance and recite ABC? Where will we watch Caleb grow before our very eyes even when we are miles & miles or even oceans away? Please be kind to us who depend on timches as a reason to go to a website.
What? You can't! I want to see pictures of Caleb and of the Millers and the Malabuyos and other favorite vacations! What if I want to see Caleb grow up and become bigger and bigger! Please don't get rid of this wesite and think of all these other comment and people who don't want you to delete this website.
It is finished. No more training you require.
Oh no!! Eli will be so sad - we love to look at the pictures together. But BELIEVE ME I understand that whole "not enough time" thing..........
