On another note, I wanted to give a shout out to an avid blog reader: my mom! She celebrated her birthday this past week and has become an active reader and poster to my blog, so I thought I use this moment to announce to the world: Happy Birthday, Mom! You're the best! Love you! Here's a cute photo of my mom from my grad school graduation.

Your mom is beautiful, Julie and it's clear where you got your sunny smile from. Happy Birthday Mom. Love, Sadie and Gunnar's temporary foster mom
