Dad (Brett)
All around rockstar geek. Brett enjoys his job as a Clinical Data Manager (helping research medical breakthroughs at Celgene); in his time off he enjoys reading books, watching movies, and learning new tricks on his camera and in Photoshop. He absolutely adores his wife and 2 daughters.

Mom (Erin)
Complete supermom. Erin loves her job as a Youth Field Researcher (aka 'mother'); in her plentiful spare time (ha!) she enjoys sleeping, re-reading Twilight or Harry Potter, and cuddling with Brett.

Aeriana ('Wacko', 'Princess')
Hybrid Angel/Devil. Aeriana loves her mommy and daddy, each of whom she loves to test at times and pretend innocence at others. A veritable sponge, Aeriana wants to do anything she sees an adult doing; she loves babies and especially adores her little sister, taking great care of her every need.

Zoe Jean ('Stinker', 'Cutie')
Growing fast, Zoe wants to be just like her big sister. Very goal oriented, she'll find a way to get that toy she's been looking at. She loves her pacifier and can't help but snuggle up to her blanket. Zoe is as relaxed as they come, she just loves chillin' out and watching TV.

My Princess

This morning I was running around trying to get ready for the day, getting ready to go visiting teaching, and packing for a 6 hour plane ride tomorrow and a week in California, when my loving daughter reminded me to take a little time to enjoy life and be a princess.

While running around like a crazy person trying to do too many things at one time, I remembered I wanted to bring some nail polish. I grabbed some from the cabinet and placed it in the living room where i would see it later when I had time to think about it more. I kept going on my way to the kitchen to clean up some dishes and all of a sudden my daughter is screaming and I have no idea why.

I turn around and ask her what's wrong and she plops herself down on the floor points to her toes, says "eh, eh", points to the nail polish and then her toes again, then says "Please" in sign language. It was so cute I was running late and had a million other things to do but Aeriana wanted to be a princess and have her toes painted.

I sat down and did her toes, and all the while she sat there completely in heaven saying "oooo and ohhh" it was so adorable. I love having a little princess.

Cute nails, Erin! But I'm slightly more impressed with how clean your carpet is.

What a great mom - all those million things we have to do each day will always be there, but painting your toes for your little princess is something that will too soon be gone!
