About this website:

This is the website for Scott and Serena Von Ruden, and our daughter Odessa. This is second version of vonrudens.com The original was set up to stay in touch with our family and friends while we were thousands of miles away, in Alaska. Now the site serves a different purpose.

We don't have an exaggerated sense of self importance. We understand that there aren't many people who come to this webpage. We just aren't that popular. However, this site is as much for our own purposes as it is an easy way to share baby pictures. As in, the things we record here will help us to keep our own memories together as the years go by.


About Serena:

I am a full time Pharmacy student who is excited to graduate in 2011. I try to spend the rest of my free time with my husband, son, and daughter. Email me at serena at vonrudens dot com, because reading letters gives me a break from studying.


About Odessa:

Born on October 19, 2006. Her favorite activities include never being quiet, moving really fast, not listening to her parents, and being the sweetest kid in the world.


About Leo:

Born on December 11, 2009. At this point, he pretty much only knows how to be annoying.

-Full name: Chibicabaccabo Lewis Von Ruden
-Species: Three-toed Box Turtle
-Birthday: November 25, 2001

About Scott:

I find it difficult to write about myself without sounding awfully conceited. Granted, I am pretty awesome. Still it seems that when I try to write about myself I always find that what I wrote is pretty annoying. In brief, I'm either in my late 20s or my early 30s, a college dropout, and I am in love with my wife and kids, and many natural things like glaciers and aurora.
