Dudley's Dozen Dogmas: Our Guiding Principles

How this came about...a few month's ago, my girlfriend posted her family's guiding principles on her blog. I became inspired and have been waiting for Lucas to join us from Seattle so we could sit down and write ours. Here it is. We all contributed ideas and think these principles represent our family well.
