Family Bulletin #3 from Kjersti and Alex

Hello Family,

It was nice to have a short week after Memorial Day. The holiday weekend was fun and relaxing. We spent it with friends at a BBQ on Saturday and went to Piedmont Park on Sunday and hung out at our Italian friend's house on Monday.

We're gearing up for Alex's birthday on the 6th. We're going to a Braves game, indulging in $7 pretzels and doing the "tomahawk chop" with the rest of the tribe. We're taking our norwegian friends from church who have never been to a baseball game. They have a six month old baby named "Signar" (Donna per your blog, you'd like that name) who was born in the States and therefore must be indoctrinated MLB style.

In collateral family news, Kjersti's cousin Jake was arrested in New York City this week while leading a gay rights protest, called the Harvard Right to Serve Project, at the US Armed Forces recruiting station in Times Square. The event was featured in the New York Times and covered by MTV. We are proud of Jake for his efforts.

Finally, we have decided to postpone our honeymoon to Paris because Kjersti is too rotund. We don't want to take any chances. As people experienced in international travel, we have resolved to wait until mom and baby are individual units. We're looking at the fall of '09. If anyone is interested in traveling at the same time to Paris, it would be fun to coordinate something. Just let us know.

Love,

Kjersti, Alex & Orb
