uncle rico

The last two weeks have been unbelievably sickly around here. Avery and I have been through a virus, an ear infection, a sinus infection, and sunburns. The last few days have had me feeling decidedly more human and Avery seemed to be checking out okay too so we finally made a trip to visit my sister in the hospital (on her birthday!) and while there my mom pointed out that Avery felt warm. I thought so too which is why I'd checked before we left and she had 98.4...so now she's got 101.8 and I couldn't be more ready for the sick days to be behind us. I think I'm done with February.

My aunt came to visit this weekend (and do my laundry) and she brought a stack of old family photos to be scanned. I could hardly contain my excitement when I found the little gem of brotherly love below.



Those are my dad's two younger brothers, circa 1984. The one on the right was 20, the one on the left was 14. So many things strike me as funny in that picture, but what's weird is I'm still trying to figure out why my 20 year old uncle was at my 14 year old uncle's 8th grade dance. Was he a chaperon? Dropping him off and hopped in a picture? I just don't know! But I do know that it reminds me so much of this movie. Also, I'm really glad T & S do NOT read my blog!
