A Congratulations to Morgan!

My nephew Morgan had another great performance at the MD/VA State Wrestling tournament. Won all his matches save the last and finished 2nd in his class. He's a wiley little guy and one day soon he'll get that top spot on a regular basis.

She's Here! and the Name the Baby Winner Is...?

Josie Olivia Laohaphan Way weighed in at 8lbs 9oz, 20 1/4 inches, full head of hair and eyes wide open.

Bonus: She stole Jeff's February 9th birthday just as he tipped over the cliff at 40. It looks like future birthdays for Jeff are going to be excessively Pink and a lot more girlie.

Momma did great and Dad managed to stay on his feet. See a few first photos at:

2008 Naughty or Nice Poll Results

So i'm a bit late on this post, but I've been understandably upset...

I think there's a little bias out there in friends and family land. It seems that to a great extent this poll is being misinterpreted. This poll is supposed to measure the Naughtiness or Niceness of Mark and Natalie INDEPENDENTLY of one another. Just because the voters opinion of Natalie is that she is Nice does not automatically mean Mark is Naughty, or vice versa.

Mark & Natalie should be independently scored, not weighted on the same scale at the same time. After all we are both individuals with our own qualities and traits that define us as unique and special. While some may consider Natalie's charm, smile, fashion sense, compassion, calm intelligence and exceptional grace as "Nice", it does not preclude you from also interpreting Mark's charm, smile, fashion sense, compassion, calm intelligence and cool swagger as also "Nice".

Regardless here are the results (53 of 80 votes were cast)
Natalie - Nice...........................66%
Natalie - Naughty...................34%

Mark - Nice.............................42%
Mark - Naughty.....................58%

Are all my friend Traitors? Can you honestly call Josie Olivia's Daddy Naughty?
