All Our Children

All our children have been very busy lately. Here are just three of them. Adrian, above with his mother who loves him dearly, just turned 34 last Monday. He is a whole continent away, so I had to pull out a stock photo. He celebrated this weekend by watching the Lakers win the NBA finals. Thanks Kobe and crew for a perfect gift for my son.

Julie is also on the other side of the country. She spent this weekend getting her BA diploma from the University of Oregon in Eugene. Her three boys (includes Adam) and the rest of us who love her dearly could not be prouder. She took time off from getting that degree to produce and nurture Palmer and Torin. It was their turn to support and cheer her on. Guess they all did a good job.

Finally, Kate and Nate are back from their whirlwind tour of the South to visit his family before he goes off to train for Iraq or Afghanistan. With luck, he will just get to spend a year in Hawaii training and then everyone will see the light and realize that Afghanistan is unhelpable with military. Maybe if we just all stop buying cocaine for a while, things would slow down there. But on a lighter note, it's nice to see these two looking so happy, under the watchful eye of the two dour ladies at the right of this picture.
