Cormick posing with our family heirloom "The Head".  This delightful sculpture was created by my mother when she was in college. She actually received an A for painting an old chunk of wood. U of M should be proud of it's standards. As you can see, her art career was short lived, but "The Head" lives on! He was always in the bedroom my brother and I, and my cousin Jake slept in when visiting my grandpa's house in Butte. One day when we were much older, "The Head" was somehow brought up and we all shared stories of nightmares and sleepless nights we'd suffered due to it's presence. From that day forward, "The Head" is passed to signify important events in our lives. Unfortunately, Abi is 3 months younger than Evan, so we are stuck with it until Bean, Goon, Jake or Jen do something cool. I believe Jen will be graduating from med school within a year... a totally "headworthy" event!
