Virginia '08

Here we are in Virginia with Brian's crazy family. We've been playing with Claire and swimming a lot!

Yes, Kristin and I were both in the playpen

Aunt Patti and the water baby!

My favorite pic of the trip

Like father like son

Hair

Just got home from getting my hair done. Decided to go shorter!

Work

This is where I spend the majority of my time. Not exactly what I'd like to be doing, but I do enjoy the access to thousands of books!

The Duluth library

MJ and Mia got hitched!

The happy married couple

Mia wants to steal Xuan-Thao's baby, Allison.

Jay being a pimp.

We had some martinis....

"Sup"

Nik and Kari enjoy some bread

Midas loves his daddy

Our house

Here's some pics of our first home. We've lived here for about 20 months. Loving it!

Welcome

Kristin and Claire came to visit!

Kristin and Claire flew down from Richmond, VA to visit us at the end of June. We had a great time! Claire is Brian's Goddaughter and my favorite baby...can you tell? ;-)

Claire loves animals so we visited the
Yellow River Game Ranch.

Snoozing after dinner.

"What is that camera thing?"

Claire spent most of her time here chasing
after Midas.

Unfortunately Midas wanted nothing to do
with her.

So close.

TV break.

I gave her a magazine to play with.

Eating it was more fun.

James's Dirty 30 and Elle turns 2!

James is officially old! Neha threw a surprise party for him at the Loafing Leprechaun in Alpharetta and there was a great turn out. It's clear James means a lot to many people :-)

Friends + food + laughing = goodtimes!

These chips should be illegal. Probably gained 5 lbs.

China is now modeling hats and ketchup.

This is what Brian thinks of my picture taking.

We have too much fun while sober.

"Surprise!"

Brian welcoming James into his third decade.

James seems unsure of his new look.

Delicious pirate ice cream cake.

Elle is my coworker Jan's granddaughter. She's the
coolest 2 year old I've ever met!

Here's her sister, Mia. Ten months old
and constantly smiling. Also loves cake.

Elle loves Dora.
