Happy Graduation Alex!

My little brother Alex graduated from high school on June 17th in Irvine, CA. We are so proud of him and all of his achievements (all 5's on his 9 AP exams, a ridiculously high GPA, won the Science Medal given to only one senior every year). I can remember when my munchkin was a little baby and now he's all grown up.

My dad and Karen threw him a dinner celebration attended by his family and a few close friends and we surprised him with his graduation present--a 2 week trip to the Western US and all the national parks.

Alex is off to Berkeley next year! Congrats Zander!
