I didn’t get a chance to toss this up this morning, but today’s my little brother’s 30th birthday. Welcome to your third decade, bro!

Birthday 33
Happy birthday to me,
I’m now thirty-three,
I should have better words here,
but I suck at poetry.
Also: today marks two years since I decided to stop shaving my head and let my hair grow out. The result, after two years without a haircut: lots and lots of curls.

A Kiss for Mom
More photos of Noah, Kevin, and Emily can be found in Saturday’s photos, and a few of Prairie and her mom are in Sunday’s photos.
Back Home
We’re back. Family and friends were visited, many photos were taken, fun was had. I’m starting to get photos uploaded to Flickr, though so far I’ve just taken care of Friday’s shots. The rest (including many cute shots of my nephew) will have to wait ’til I’m home from school tomorrow.
In the meantime, here’s my girl at our hotel in Corvallis…

Potbellied Pig Monster
While wandering around NSCC before class one morning last week, I took this picture of an interesting looking tree trunk:
Once home, both Prairie and I saw a “potbellied pig monster” in the contours of the trunk.
Can you see it?
Storybook Forest
What actually happened here was that I’d forgotten to switch my white balance away from a custom setting for indoors. However, I actually like the final effect — the gold tones give this an old-timey, almost storybook look to my eye.
