Week in Michigan

Warning for the bandwidth-challenged! This is a long post with a lot of media content. Hope no one's seeing this over dial-up. Posts like these make you wish you had gone for the faster DSL plan! :-)

Happy Birthday Armaan!

That's why we couldn't do anything for Armaan on his actual birthday. Still, he got lots of extra love to make up for it!
