My cousin Katlyn got a motorcycle. She's eco-friendly and doesn't like using a lot of gas.

Katlyn looks a lot like her mom.

Or, she did, before her mom got older and her hair turned grey. That really freaked Aunt Kim out.

My sister Klarissa isn't very good at school work.

But it's sometimes hard to concentrate when things like the fire pole just start spinning around.

I mean, it's easy enough to sleep with ghosts...

And get used to having your dad glow red...

And even having strangers get all excited when they see you because your dad or uncle is a sports legend.

The reality is always different than it seems though. For example, Uncle Russ is still heart-broken that Aunt Kim dumped him. My mom listens to him lament his misfortunes and then just shrugs it all off.

Oh well, enough about that family history. I've found a new passion.

Klarissa has too.

I think I'm better at it than she is.

I did discover, however, that you shouldn't slide down the fire pole when you're really tired out from all that sculpting.

Oh, my baby brother's celebrated another birthday.

He's now a toddler with what dad calls "toxic" waste.

He's kind of cute though.

And, Dad really does love him.

Uncle Kaden loves him too. He is hoping that Kurtis will be a vegetarian too.

I've been reading up on charismatic skills since I plan to go into politics.

And, I've been talking to those in the community with grievances.

I spend more time at the library getting to know people...

Especially, cute, tan, blond ones.
