Happy Birthday, Ev!!

Ev turned 15 on Tuesday, September 25! Can you beleive it?!

He got a guitar for his birthday, which he loves. He said, "it's probably the best present I've ever gotten." I'll put some pictures of it on Flickr soon. He also got a Ramones and a Marshall amp t-shirt from Archie and Jammer and a Guiness beer mirror for his bedroom.

Scott's company had the internal roll-out for it's website on Monday and it was a HUGE success! Yeah! They will do a roll-out for the general public in October. I'll post the particulars prior to that roll-out so everyone can check it out and make some investments!

That's it for now!

Anyone out there?

Considering it has been three months since my last post, I would understand if no one bothers to check this thing anymore!

We had a pretty quiet summer. Ev went to Memphis for two and a half weeks in June/July. He had a great time and got to see all his family and friends. The rest of his summer was spent sleeping in and hanging out at the local community center with Tommy, the kid next door. Scott had a very busy, stressful summer. The website launch for his company is next week, so his team worked diligently all summer getting ready for it. Testing has gone smoothly though, and it looks like we are gearing up for a successful launch! My summer was quiet. Lots of work. I had another flare up of back trouble in July and missed a week and half of work, but other than that, things were quiet for me.

Ev started High School (!) on August 28. He seems to like it so far. He and Tommy have become good friends, which has helped make the transition a smooth one. Ev has also made friends with a pack of Juniors, which he thinks is very cool. When he discusses his freshman friends, he refers to them by first name ("Kyle said...", "Tommy went..."), but if a conversation involves one of the Juniors, he is much more specific: "My friend Greg, he's a Junior, he said..." or "David, one of my Junior friends,...," etc. It cracks me up.

That should catch you up on the general goings-on of the Brown Family. I will strive to be better about posting regularly. I also have a TON of pictures to add to Flickr, so check that soon to see what we look like now! :)
