Congratulations, you two. You rock!

Fatty Ramon. Always so pensive.

Looks a little bit salty. He's not usually like this at all. I think I just caught him off guard.

Bosque School days. When Seth was rockin' the shaggy hair and the bright pinkish orange drag suit. He's bigger than me now and I feel old.

And small!

A couple of months ago, Robby came to San Diego to race the Carlsbad 5k. It wasn't a disaster by any means but it didn't go as well as it could have. Fifty meters into the race, he got tripped up and took a tumble, then quickly picked himself up and finished the race. Definitely not the 5k that he wanted to have.

The Rock 'n' Roll San Diego 1/2 Marathon was this past weekend and Robby was back to give the roads another go. 1:10:25! A new personal best! And no bloody hand!

Congrats, Robby. The boys and I are super proud of you.

Any of you who follow Nimish's blog from time to time have probably seen photos of Ellie. See for yourself here, here, here, and here. Baby Ellie has basically spent a good chunk of her first year or so in front of Nimish's camera and when I surprised Nimish for his Medical School graduation, I finally got to meet her in person. She seemed like an awfully happy baby and happy babies are the absolute best. Pretty sure she's going to be a smart one, too seeing as how she already knows how to spell her own name in letter blocks.

Joking!

My sister graduated from high school this past weekend. It's time to get serious.

Congratulations little sister! Very proud of you.

Nimish is graduating from medical school this weekend and I finally managed to spring a surprise visit on him. He's shown up unexpectedly and surprised me twice before, once on a big race weekend back in college and then for my college graduation. His sister and I designed a master plan to get me into town without him knowing and while he might claim that he had some inkling of an idea that I was going to pop up, believe me when I say that he did not.

Getting someone at their own game has never felt so sweet!

Little guy has a hole in his pants. I don't think that was an accident.

JOLT! I remember so many kids obsessing over this stuff when I was growing up. Apparently it now comes in a disgustingly large can.

My brother doesn't drink Jolt, and neither do I, but it always makes for a good photo op!

I'm pretty sure that's a yawn. Apparently it was getting a little late.

For those of you who know Nimish, I'll give you one guess as to what he's eating. This is too easy!

Finn, Melanie, Peter.  This photo would be so much better with Sunghoon and Amy in it.

They're coming, Fatty!
