Family Celebrations


I just found out that my brother-in-law Mark received the honor of Teacher of the Year at his high school. Congratulations, Mark! (See more at the Oglesblog.)

I've always thought our family is pretty well-rounded. We have a high school teacher, mechanic, pilot, pastor... and that's just the men. Then we have a journalist, photographer, full-time mom, and caterer -- and that's just one of my three sisters! (That would be Karen, pictured above with Teacher of the Year Mark, daughters Taylor and Madison, and a mystery kid with a wig).

We're excited that we get to visit my side of the family at Thanksgiving.

Speaking of holidays, today Cullen got to dress up for Halloween. In honor of our upcoming trip to New Jersey, he decided to dress up as an Italian mob boss...


No, we didn't find it very convincing either, in spite of the Italian bib...

So, tomorrow we head to New Jersey where Cullen gets to meet his great grandparents. They are looking forward to meeting their very first great grandchild! And he is great - we're so glad he's part of the family! (And by family, we mean family... not "FAMILY.")
