Welcome to Lily!

Congratulations to my cousin Math and his wife Jana on the birth of their daughter Lillian Mary! 7 lbs 12 oz. It looks like big babies are the in thing this summer!

Happy Birthday today to two people, to my brother, who I’m sure is now short of sleep taking care of my beautiful new niece, and to Gina, best wife a girl could want. ;)

Wanna know why my day was awesome? I spent it with my beautiful, brand-new niece Julliene.

These are some of my favorite pictures of the 144 I uploaded to Flickr.

Please welcome Julliene Ann, my niece!

8 pounds 3 ounces, 21.5 inches long–smaller than expected, but still a big baby.

Congratulations to Brian & Stacie!

My love to everyone!

Michelle: I’m not stupid.
Michael: (nods)
Michelle: Thank you for not arguing that point.

People must know I love flowers! Because I got flowers on Saturday!

Note: I did not take these pictures, Michael did. I’m not yet up for standing still, and I’m pretty sure taking pictures while balancing on crutches is an invitation for another trip to the ER.

From my aunt & uncle and Grandmom.

From my parents

The card from the UCF was Teh BEST!
“To the Most Graceful Member of the UCF. Heal Fast!”

Grandmom: I just don’t feel up to going out to dinner.
Michael: That’s fine.
Grandmom: Don’t be mad.
Michael: I’m not mad!
Grandmom: And I’m gonna pay for it.
Michael: That’ll make me mad.
Grandmom: No it won’t.

I have a lovely day yesterday. Why? Because Eric & Logan visited, with both sets of twins.

SO! CUTE!

My thoughts right now are with my friend Shawn Powers, whose house just burned down.

All his family is OK, but they lost all their pets.

If you know Shawn, please lend him your support, even if it’s only in kind thoughts and words.

ADDENDUM the First:
Linux Journal has put together a page so donations can be made to the Powers family.

Additionally, if you would prefer to make a donation through Shawn’s pastor, I can pass that information along to you as well.

Happy Anniversary Michael!

I love you, and I’d do it all again if given the choice.

Really. I would.

My mother-in-law’s husband died Thursday; I probably won’t be posting for the next several days.

Just so you know.
