Baby Eli.
This is my brother’s beautiful wife. I genuinely mean that in every way possible. Beautiful on the outside (obviously), but gorgeous on the inside as well. Since I met Shannon back when she was dating my brother while we attended college up in Canada, she’s been a necessity I never knew I needed. Not only is she a great friend, but she’s an artist. And not just any artist, but an artist that – even though we differ greatly in our styles – totally understands my point of view and vice versa. She’s extremely talented. She can do anything creative and it turns out amazing. I often trust her to help me with my own creative ventures. That’s saying a lot, coming from a severe perfectionist. I can easily say that I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without her.
It’s been a fun 10 years, to say the least. Thank you, sister.
A baby-boom is taking place in my family right now as I type this sentence. This is Massimo! He was born on April 1st and was only 17 days old in these photos. Thanks to Massimo (or thanks to Auntie Heather?) my daughter is officially a cousin to 2 boys now. That’s not all, though. In just nine-ish short weeks, another boy will be coming along to make her a cousin to THREE BOYS! Thankfully, Katie is a very strong and independent girl so I think she’ll fit in well with 3 boy cousins. Just yesterday she was digging up piles of worms on her farm field trip, calling them “king cobras”. I think the boys will appreciate that.
Now, here’s to hoping the boom continues…
My beautiful sister-in-law, Shannon, at the bunkers on the North side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
