Happy Birthday to Us!

In the interest of shameless (or is it shame-ful?) self aggrandizement, I hereby submit a Happy Birthday post to myself and my sister, Shanna. In fact, I created the following animated movie to show our deep affection for one another (Update: since the animation autoplayed with annoying background music, I changed it to a still image – click to view the animation on dvolver.com):

Thank you to all who sent well wishes via Facebook and Twitter! I will now commence celebrating with such notable historical and heroic figures like Niels Bohr, Henry A. Wallace, Desmond Tutu, Oliver North, John Mellencamp, Vladimir Putin, Yo-yo Ma, Michael W. Smith, Simon Cowell, and Toni Braxton (all of whom, no doubt, share a deep birthday-related bond with me).

November and December Photo Galleries

I finally got my act together and loaded our photos from November and December, so enjoy! The R's birthday partyDecember gallery includes photos from R’s birthday party (she’s almost 4!). We started by having the kids (as heroes) and parents (as villains) act out a story written by Adam and Rebecca. It included princesses, knights, giants, treachery, dragons, and rescue. Kinda sounds like the beginning of the Princess Bride! The girls received pink capes and the boys got tunics (handcrafted by the crafty Roades’). After the story, we opened presents, ate lunch and cake, and let the kids just have fun. Everyone seemed to have a great time, especially R whose experience was, of course, most important!

There are also some cute new photos of M – here’s your preview:
