Little baby brother is 22.
Mike finished his last test yesterday. He hasn’t graduated yet, but he’s done. Today is his birthday. My little brother is 22, is a college graduate, and has life goals. Who is this guy?

Sandra has that baby.
Christian has learned in two days of life how to pick his nose already. At least he’s gotten fairly close to the concept. I can’t even grasp that this child was in Sandra’s stomach yesterday. He is here.
Christine was really nervous, but look how good she is! Everyone who holds the baby beams, it is just how it works. He is a magical baby that makes you smile.
Sandra refused to be photographed, but she still looked amazing. Sandra is one of the most naturally beautiful people I know. After a day of laying in bed and having a child, she still would have looked better in a photo than Christine, Leah and myself just after a day of regular work. I am wildly impressed with Sandra’s calm demeanor (she got a shot while we were there and acted like it was no big thing) and the grace in which she handles any situation. I can just imagine the nutcase I would be if I have a kiddo. I couldn’t be happier for Sandra, Cody and Devin to have Christian in their lives. The are a precious little family now and I’m glad to know them.
P.S. Babies make you want to take 5000 pictures. I have many more where this came from.
Paper Hats.
Emily at 6? Maybe 7 or 8. I won’t even try to guess Grandpa’s age. Maybe I should start saving by name and age.
Sunglasses and awkwardness.
Within two seconds of exiting the car I accosted these girls and handed JMO the camera. I got a new camera and I am excited about this. It turns out my old camera wasn’t taking the greatest pictures. My Woot.com Vivitar and I had a good run, four to five years (I can’t remember when I got it). When the flash was on, everyone looked like a ghost, although this was good for a false sense of a clear complexion, it isn’t necessarily the coloring I want my memories in. My new memories should have more accurate coloring and a clearer picture. So friends, look forward to me attacking you with my camera and writing a blog post about it.
Thanks JMO, Christine and Leah for being good sports.
CARPOOL. Best Organization ever.
Saturday evening JMO and I attended the CARPOOL Gala. It was more enjoyable two years out of school than it was one year out. Last year it made me miss CARPOOL, miss the experiences, the friends, the feeling of satisfaction and being important. This year, I felt old and although I still greatly miss being a member and a leader in the organization I now feel intense pride in being part of the history of the safe ride program.CARPOOL is truly unique, not only in what they do, giving anyone a ride home that needs it, but the collection of people that make it happen. I’m proud to write them a check and I’m proud to introduce myself to a current member as a former member. I still beam with pride when I explain to coworker what I spent my college years doing. I learned more from CARPOOL than I’ve learned from school or my job. CARPOOL taught me how to manage people, manage funds, manage rides and cars. CARPOOL brought be closer to the friends I made freshman year and made me countless more. When JMO and I started dating, I told him it would never work because it was not worth feeling weird at CARPOOL. Turns out it didn’t make CP weird.
If you want to donate to CARPOOL. It would make me happy.
