The web site I’ve been working on so hard is now live at http://www.kaaswilson.com. It’s for my bro-in-law’s architecture firm. Check it out!

My honorary niece Natalia is now five years old! For her party she decided on a kitty theme. I was in charge of the fruit salad:

The kids had painted whiskers and felt ears. Though I really like the fairy princess set Tallie received:

My sister’s getting married! Hurrah!

My sister Michelle is being admitted to the bar today.

Yay! Go Michelle!
