There are some new pics up in my photoblog of the newest member of our family, Roger Shakakahn Petersen.

Last night I went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Let me tell you, I laughed so hard I cried. The place was packed and everyone was just howling with laughter. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. It was so fun, and so true. My aunt married a Greek man…
