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.

'Vacation' or 'Effort Reallocation'?

We've got a family reunion coming up and I've only got two days of work left before we leave. Unfortunately, taking vacation time doesn't always feel like vacation. Instead of getting six days off of work, I just cram as much in as I can before I go, and then scramble to catch up when I get back (and I know I'm not alone in this).

Of course, maybe my company is doing me a favor by letting me be truly grateful for my time away. Completely swamp me before and after, and the vacation just seems so much sweeter.





Then again, I really shouldn't complain. I have a good job that provides for my family, I enjoy what I do, I generally don't work too many more than 40 hours, and I live 10 minutes from the office. Things could be different. I could have no job, or one I hate, or one I have to work late at all the time, or one that I'd have to commute long distances...

Eh, I'm going to bed.
