For the first time in 12 years, my aunt, uncle, and cousins visited
Champaign-Urbana in June this year. It was exciting! I got to have my
cousins running through my new house and playing my video games, for
starters... They really need to visit more often.
(Of course, when they come, half of the pictures worth saving happen
to be my parents' cat...)

Visiting Siewnys
There were actually Siewnys in our house, visiting us. How exciting!
|
Matt and Rachael
There were two points to this picture: a) Matt is tall and b) Rachael fits in that dress that we keep around for no reason.
|
Rachael
At this point, the kids wanted to play with my camera.
|
Tim and Emma, Close-Up
This shot turned out amusing, even if the focus was on Emma's hair...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tim
It looks like me, certainly.
|
Dad
Close-up shots of people sometimes work; this is one of 'em.
|
Greg
This is the best picture I have of him.
|
Greg, II
This is the second best picture I have of him.

Danny
It was a good day for portrait shots.
|
Jeanne
Aunt Jeanne seemed to like the cats...
|
Mom
Mom wasn't going insane, too much. Of course, the cleaning was complete, so life was better.
|
Tim and Emma
I always forget how much my cousins love me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Matt
I like having my cousin be a real human being.
|
Emma
Hamming it up. Cameras are fun.
|
Rachael, II
I think she was dancing or something, or at least she was in the shots I deleted..
|
Danny
Danny just needed a rest from vet school.

|
Sheba's Box
She likes her box even without the catnip in it...
|
Scritchy Sheba
...it just makes her feel safe.
|
Friendly Kitty
So yes, this is my parents' cat, on the porch, happy as can be. It helps that Sampson wasn't hanging around.
|
Dad's Sprinkler System
I never got a shot of this before; it's an odd contraption, though, isn't it? If you can see it against the rest of Dad's yard...
