celebrating the deep end of the gene pool.

Cody has four sisters. No brothers. Cody has one wife and one daughter, no sons. I distinctly remember walking through the grocery store with him tossing my feminine products in the air like a football, that’s when I realized how awesome a boy who grew up with nothing but girls could be.

This is Cody’s baby sister. (He is the second oldest.)
Olivia

I took her pictures for practice and for her birthday. Which is today.

Happy Birthday Olivia!

She made it through high school with a 4.0. She made it through her undergrad with a 4.0. She made it through graduate school with a 3.8. She has a job as on the tax team at a very affluent company. She just passed her CPA exam. She owns her own home. Pays her own bills.

Today? She turns 23.

I know.

  1. My husband is the second child of five. All girls except him. He knew more about girl stuff than I did and taught me a thing or two when we got married. He has never said “you women” or “female’s, I just don’t get them”. It’s actually kinda nice.

  2. Kathy, substitute 29 for 24, and an aide for a substitute teacher, and you have me.

    I’m starting my special ed certification next month, hoping it’ll get me my own classroom.

    So yeah, I hear ya.

    But seriously, that is awesome – good for her!

  3. This 25 year old who is in 6 digit credit card debt and who barely scraped a 3.4 out in undergrad is not just impressed, but floored.

    Obviously her parents (and her, of course) have done some things very right. Congratulations and happy birthday to her!

  4. Olivia is not only beautiful, she’s the kind of woman I’d like my daughter to be when she grows up! I was such a screw up at 23. She should be proud and so should her parents!

  5. She really is incredible. Is the rest of Cody’s family like those two? Intimidating to say the least!

    And as always – GREAT PHOTOS!!! One day I want to be an artist like you!

  6. East Coast Teacher – I just did the special ed thing at 28 – it is wonderful! 🙂

    Re: Olivia – she’s making me wish I could go back and redo college (I had the 4.0 in high school, but not that HAIR!) and wish I was more ambitious…

    Congratulations and happy birthday to her!
