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.

Letter to the MPAA

Dear MPAA,

It might only have been my youthful foolishness, but I used to think that the ratings you gave to movies actually meant something. Today I count myself slightly less naive and it is with sadness that I now consider your ratings system completely and utterly useless (it's been coming for a while - some of your PG-13 ratings were less than accurate, this just cemented things).

For future reference, I prefer my G-rated movies to be swear-word free. You see, I have two sweet daughters and they just don't need to hear those words. They don't hear it from their parents, they don't hear it in their music, and they don't need to hear it in any movies. Now I will never be able to look at a movie, see that it is G-rated, and trust that they can watch it.

Thanks for nothing you useless reptile organization,
Brett

P.S. Your website needs to be updated, it currently states "No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures."
