Joining a Family

A big family.

This week, Jeremy and Monica became an uncle and aunt.

And it got me to thinking about the family I'll be joining. The day Jessica and I get married, I'll instantly become an uncle to eight (or more?) nieces and nephews. I'll gain five brothers-in-law, a sister-in-law, and a mother and father-in-law, not to mention becoming a co-owner of a dog--Chispita Ross. Jessica won't be gaining as many people, gaining only a sister-in-law without kids and a mother and father-in-law. One big happy family.

By the way, here's a photo from earlier this week. That's Jeremy, Peter, and I at a bowling alley for Peter & Diane's going away party. I guess they're in Portland by now.
