Hooray!


I have a new brother (crazy at my age!) My mom's adoption is finally official, after six years of effort. I can now say that I come from a family of eight kids--Lauren, Ben, Doug, Diana, CJ, Jennie, Eddie & now Kelvin!!

That is FANTASTIC. I will have to email your mom.

It also looks like your family has had some great times this summer.
