Annika

Guess what? You now have a new cousin! Auntie Rachel gave birth to little Annika Kuerzinger last evening. Apparently you're Uncle Jeremy didn't care enough to stick around as he decided to go kick some Clatskanie booty. In all fairness, it was a must win high school basketball game. It's completely fine though because he scored 15 points. Your daddy informed him that he had to have exactly 15 points or he couldn't stay at your house anymore. Fortunately he hit the 15 point mark on the head. It was a controversial play however when he gave up the game winning layup on the buzzer so as to not exceed his goal.

I'm trying to spin certain stories from the present in such a way that they will seem even cooler when you're able to read by July, 2011.

Again though, the real story of the day was Miss. Annika. Congrats to Brother Torsten and Mama and Daddy Kuerzinger. Annika will be one protected little lady. Lots of people to see that she is treated right. For this job I'm excited.
