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.

New Invention

Last night, about an hour before she went to bed, Aeriana exploded out of her diaper. It's a rare occurrence for this to happen, but still never pleasant and last night was GROSS... well, at least that's what Erin tells me. I was actually on the phone with my mom at the time and didn't know anything had happened until I walked in to find Aeriana playing in the tub and some wet, but clean clothes in the sink. If it had been anyone else on the phone, Erin would have hollered to me to get off the phone and come help (heck, if it was anyone else, I wouldn't have been on the phone for more than 30 seconds); but because it was my mom I was able to miss the entire debacle. So first off, thanks mom, I really really appreciate you calling when you did.

But I was thinking about this and decided that the world is ready for a new invention. Last week LG came out with a watch-phone, Dick Tracy style; I don't see much excitement in that, but I would be excited about a watch that at the push of a button will call your phone using your mom's ringtone. If you're sitting there and you sense a poopy disaster coming, just push a button and say "Oh hey hun, I'd love to help, but I need to talk to my mom." It's genius.

Any venture capitalists out there, give me a call, let's make something happen...

Oh oh oh !!! I want one! Sign me Up! I'll donate my brain in the research process. But you have to give it back when you're done, since I need to graduate eventually...

*Begins contemplating nefarious schemes for which Matt's brain can be used... Global domination? Expelling Texas from the U.S.A? Shaking all soda cans in Deleware? Hmmm...*

Brett--
It's so good to hear from you! I'm glad you left a comment on my blog. I've had a couple other friends find my blog, too. Technology is amazing, and it can really make it a small world. So catch me up on your life after Rupert. Has it really been 12 years? That makes me feel old!! My email is snappydandy@gmail.com
My mom was trying to remember who you are. I told her--"He's the one that spilt a can of royal blue paint down the front of my new dress in kindergarten". We had a good laugh over that. Now, I have a daughter in Kindergarten--my, time flies.
Anyway--it's good catching up.

Brett. I have that application on my iPhone. It's called "fake call". You choose the ringtone, picture, contact, etc. and then set a time limit. Then it goes back to your background and after however long you set it, it starts ringing...it could be across the room. It'll let you answer, but it's not actually connected but if someone looked - they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Get an iPhone. It changed my life Brett. (seriously)
