Another Typical Family Photo

I love it when my relatives do this: ask us to take a picture and then all look in different directions. This is from yesterday's celebration of my cousin Stephanie's baptism. (She's the baby in the white christening get-up.)

The Peanut

She's about the size of a peanut...my newest cousin, Stephanie. She wasn't due until this week, but she was born July 13th. She's finally home from the hospital, but still tiny enough to look like a real-life baby doll. In the picture is the proud dad, my Uncle Steve, who is by no means tiny or peanut-like.

Happy Father's Day, We Locked You Out of the House

It isn't a family holiday in my family until someone gets hurt or locked out of their own house. Here's my Uncle Steve, locked out of his own house on Father's Day. Luckily, his house is a split level ranch and he only had to climb 1.5 stories to break in, and also luckily, the master bedroom window was unlocked. The kicker is that about 3 hours before getting locked out, his wife has asked if they should maybe think about putting a spare key in the garage. Which he said was unnecessary.
