How great that he has a job! So many law school grads are in panic mode. And I bet he loved your party because, Boomer Girl, YOU know how to throw one. xoxo

Along with your sweet family sharing. Thanks for the owl update! Whooooooo! :-)
I think I heard a song about this... "Mothers don't let your baby owls grow up to be cowboys.... but lawyers and musical engineers are kosher."
And if there's not a song, we will write one!
