Well, Ben is almost 1 and he has officially had the chance to experience all the holidays in his first year of life! The past few weekends, he’s had the chance to experience 2 Easters, the one that most Christians celebrate and the one that Orthodox Christians celebrate.
Here are some photos (with links to galleries) of his experience!

Thanks Demo!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?”
Dad says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.”
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night,! he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed
The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ”
The father says, “Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”
The little boy replies, “The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.”

On our way back from picking up my car from the Flint airport, we decided to visit Lilly and the rest of the Ladd family!
Well, in doing so, we were able to get Benjamin his very first haircut!!!

So I’m down here for a conference, and as my first one, I’m happy to say that the weather has been great, the people I’ve met have been great, the people I’m down here with our great (my coworkers), and the food has been great.
Michelle comed down later tonight for a few days of R&R. I’m really looking forward to having her down here, as we get a chance to be kids again. We’re staying at Walt Disney World. I forgot to mention that.
The weather has been mostly sunny and in the 80s and dry since I got here on Saturday. I can’t complain. I missed out, as last year, this conference I’m at was in Hawaii. Next year, it’s in Vegas. That should be good times, too. I’ve only been to Vegas once, and it was only for about 6 hours…on a whim!
