Five Years Ago Today
It was five years ago today that our lives changed forever. Today is the day that Graydon was born. I have a hard time believing my little dude is five already but he is and he's an amazing and wonderful guy.Our birthday plans are pretty low key since its also the 4th of July weekend and there are all kinds of other festivities in the works. But we will be having a birthday party for him soon.
In the meantime, we're playing, we're making messes (and learning that cleaning them up is important) and enjoying each other's boisterous company as much as possible.
This afternoon there will be cake baking and a small celebration just for our little family. And I like to tell Grady that all the fireworks being blown up tomorrow are all in celebration for him as well.

Because Blogs are about People
I know that I'm one of the first to abuse whatever meager soapbox Intellectual Poison has become over the years since we started up back in 2002. Yes, Virginia, this next May will mark 7 years of blogging. No, I have not solved all the problems in the world but that's mostly because the right people aren't paying attention yet.Pay attention, right people! Damn! Do you want me to repeat myself? Again?
Anyway, this post isn't about me.
This post is specifically to wish my big sister a Happy Birthday! I won't say how old she is but she's my big sis and I don't know when the last time I took a moment to recognize truly what an awesome, inspiring, strong and cool woman she is.
Skootchy Su, I hope you are having an epically (spell check says that's right but it doesn't look right or sound right to me) fun day with your studly stud boys. We out here on the left coast will raise a glass and toast to you this evening!
