All in the Family

I'm an uncle and I've been in the game since '92. Jaz was first, followed by twin girls then a baby boy and every time I make it back to Texas for the holidays, they look like they've aged a few years each. Now they're all almost teenagers, with cell phones and opinions. Besides our baby turtle, it's the closest I've come to watching kids grow up...pretty cool.

Skateboard Key

My 13-year-old niece, Nekeita, is quite the athlete. I tossed the football around with her and she's got some hands. She stars on her 8th grade basketball team and claims she can beat me in a game of one on one (which would be quite the feat). She got a skateboard for Christmas and has pretty much been rolling on in the street everyday since then. So I gave her the nickname Skateboard Key which closely resembles the moniker of one Pharrell. She sure learned how to do an ollie faster than I ever did. Shout out to my grandmother's son for leaving a ladder in the garage.

Periodically

Almost. Almost a month between blog posts. I'd say that's pretty good seeing as how I intended to post daily when I first started this thing in May. Now it seems like the blog is turning into Untitled Monthly, but I've got my reasons. I've spent the last two weeks in Houston (and a few days in Austin) relaxing with my family, taking pictures and not doing much else. So to kick off this blog in 2009, I leave with a few day-after-Christmas shots of my nephew and twin nieces. Shout out to Tichara for making them happen.
