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.

Guitar SuperHero

Guitar Hero III is, in my humble opinion, the greatest game ever made. I was addicted almost as soon as I touched my first wii-guitar. At the time, Erin was violently pregnant, and though she tried the game, her belly proved too large an obstacle to overcome in order to actually correctly hold the guitar, and so it was impossible for her to enjoy the game.

Luckily in the past couple of weeks Erin has picked up the guitar and has since become addicted herself, though she still hasn't played nearly as much as I have. Last night we recorded each of us playing, and thought some of you might enjoy seeing the videos (granted, I figure the vast majority of you simply won't care, if you haven't played you might not understand the awesomeness that is Guitar Hero).

Here is the video where Erin plays The Metal on Easy, she got 5 stars, and considering she'd only played the song a few times before, it's obvious she's quite the natural.



Then, here is a video of me playing The Metal on Expert... I can only get about half-way through the song before the complicated note sequences get me booted off stage, but it's a fun first-half. (FYI - the first 60 seconds of this are Erin figuring out the video camera and me feeling awkward on camera... so feel free to skip that part).



Finally, here is a video of me playing Knights of Cydonia on Hard. This song is super intense and my arm gets tired half-way through, but luckily I'm able to finish the song. This one is pretty long so you might not want to try to watch the full 6+ minutes.
