Happy Birthday Grandpa Burnett

Emily and I are grateful for the wonderful influence and example that we still feel because of Grampy. We can't wait to meet him someday. We love you all.

Winter Wonderland Continues

We are now into the next storm and Nana and Papa are still here in Delaware! We would be home now if our Wednesday flight had not been canceled, tomorrow if that flight wasn't also canceled, and for now, we are scheduled to be home Sunday night... but we have learned those are only "guidelines". As long as we don't lose power, we are having a great time. We had lots of fun creating a snowman this morning, which was a good choice because a blizzard is blowing outside this afternoon. Baby Brenna is amazing... when she needs something, she just makes a little squawk and as long as her need is met, she is content until hours later when the next need comes around. Anne is recovering well... so well you would never really know she has had a baby, much less a c-section (at least to us). Well, time to go to our movie party... Ratatouille. Wish you could all join us!

Winter Wonderland

When the snow finally let up this afternoon (21 inches by our measurement), everyone went out to play (and shovel).

My video is up

Hey fam. Sorry I always just post about my videos but my video just got uploaded to Current TV. If you get a chance, vote for it or leave a comment.

Love you!

Baby Brenna

Hi, Family! Here are a few updated pictures of beautiful Brenna. (And, yes, her hair sticks up like that all the time.)

Russ likes to start them on the classics when they're very young.

Ideas Set in Motion

Here is the next animation. This one took me more than 100 hours of planning, designing, animating and rendering. Poor Emily! It's made for a competition held by Current TV and sponsored by Lexus. The end titles were provided by Lexus. In a little while, the video will be posted on Current TV's website for voting. There is a judges panel that selects three winners sometime near the end of Feb. There is also an honorable mention that is a people's choice award. I'll let you know when it's up on Current TV's site. Having lots of fun!

Brenna and Bocelli

Welcome to Brenna! We are so excited you are here and can't wait to meet you and to be with your wonderful sisters and parents next week. This link takes you to a heavenly song and seems appropriate for this special day. How can it get more heavenly than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Andrea Bocelli?
