I took some new pictures of K-line and they came out very nice if I do say so myself. I’ll attach a few of the smaller pictures below and add the link to see the rest of them.

To see the pictures in their full glory click here and to see the smaller verisions of them click here. I think there is somewhere between 40 and 50 pictures there, but I may be off by a few.

This is a general Happy Birthday post to my 3 sibs. My sister Laura’s Birthday was Monday, hope you had a good one. And the twins Nancy and Noah’s birthdays are today. Hope you have fun in Sweeden with Tim, Nan. And hope you have fun with whatever you are doing tonight Noah.

Anyways Happy Birthday all three of you.

April, June and November all the rest have 31 except for old grandma who rides a bicycle.

How Dan learned the 30 days has September poem from his mother. I kind of enjoy it, it is quirky and offbeat even if Febuary got lost somewhere.

Well today was family day. My parents were in town because my mom had some kind of dinner thing in DC this evening. So we were supose to meet them around 10am in DC, maybe go to the Smithsonian or something. We ended up just meeting them for lunch.

We went to a sport bar called Tommy Joes (maybe?), because we were also meeting family friends (good friends of my parents) and the husband of the group wanted to watch the Michigan football game. So we head down for the 12 o’clock lunch. After 15 minutes we finally find somewhere to park, yay closed streets and parking garages.

We get to the restaurant and the family friends are there but my parents aren’t yet. My parents arrive shortly afterwards. We had a nice lunch, though it was fairly loud with the football game on all 8 or 10 tv screens in the place. Talked to everyone and spent about 2 hours there.

We head out and say bye to my parents. Then we head back to our car. We are only about 15 minutes from my inlaws so we decided to stop by and visit them.

We had been talking about visiting them tomorrow, but the traffic is supose to be horrible tomorrow. So we drive over, and surprise them, since they weren’t expecting anyone.

We hang out with them from about 2:30 till 9:30 talk and have dinner. It was nice, and we got all caught up. My father in law is retiring at the end of the month, and they are going to Paris for 12 days in November which sounds like a lot of fun.

Over all it was a nice day, but dang there were a lot of parents seen and talked too!

Erin Elizabeth (Ellie) Mee was born August 27th at 1 am, she weighs 7 pounds 1 ounce. Ellie is the first great-grandchild for my grandmother. And the first grandchild for my Mom’s older sister. My mom is one of 8 and she is second oldest.

Ellie was born to Emily and Daniel Mee. Daniel is my cousin he is the younger of the two kids in his family, Ellie was named after his older sister and my cousin Erin. Daniel is only 9 months older then me, in fact he is 9 days (I believe) younger then Dan (hubby).

So congratulations on being born Erin Elizabeth Mee I hope you have had a good first 36 hours.

On other family news my Uncle Tim and Aunt Jenna are pregnant with their first child. The baby is due in March, which is a great month to be born if I do say so myself (okay so it is my birth month). Hopefully Jenna will have an easy pregnancy and delivery and I will in a few months get to meet a new cousin.

All these births and expected births kind of make me hope to one day have one of my own. However, I am waiting till I finish getting my bachlors degree. So I guess it will be another 2 and a half to 3 years for me.

And I don’t get to go. I’m really jealous. Apparently my Mom decided to take my two younger sisters on a cruise around the Bahamas. Of course they decided to go the week that University starts for me. So I don’t get to go along. I told her I didn’t mind missing the first week of class, but she didn’t believe me. So while I’m learning about ancient civilizations, writing proofs, and learning about micro and macro economics my mom and sisters are going to be sunning themselves on a big boat as it winds around the Bahamas.

On the plus side she wants to do a girl only vacation again next year and she promised to make sure it occured while none of us are in school etc, so hopefully I’ll get to at least go to that.
