Tragically, I found out this year that 40 definitely applies to me. To offset the horror, John presented me with my very ownest little digital camera. These photos are mostly me trying to figure out how the damned thing worked. I realized just how much of a geek I'd become when I loved getting gifts that came with software.

Alexis turned 12 this year, and invited a bunch of her friends over to destroy my house. I have only two photos because I spent the rest of the night serving pizza and trying to rescue our possessions.
