(just a few of my favorite photos of Doren) 

Doren, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're one of my best friends in the world and I love you so much! I'm so proud of you as a family man and artist. You are really talented. I'm so happy we get to spend so much time together this year at RV too. I'll buy you 100 cherry limeades and coffees just to show you how much I love you. XO. elsie       

  • Trust me. I need an intervention too when it comes to frozen yogurt. I haven’t been in 3 days because I haven’t had time, but before that I think I went 4 days in a row. FroYo addicts anonymous?

  • Brothers are the best! I am blessed to have two younger ones, and love them to death! 🙂

  • Elsie… you kill me every time you post a photo of froyo! mmmMMMmmm it’s my weakness… froyo forever!!

    Yogurtland is a BIG DEAL here in Los Angeles! and unfortunatley theres one right by my house.

    xo.

  • Make the most of your time spent with him, I live in the UK and my big sister moved to Australia with her family 5 months ago, I miss them!

  • I soooo understand! I have been to orange leaf twice this week! And I have plans to go sat …aaannnd maybe Friday :)….. It’s just so yummy!! And happy bday to your brother! My brothers will be that age soon!

  • oh my and YUM! i have never been so obsessed with frozen yogurt as i have been this very summer. I have never heard of orange leaf in our area, but our frequented spot, Nubi Yogurt (think it’s a west coast chain) has all the good stuff like the gummy worms, Jelly Belly beans, Cap’n Crunch, Fruity and Coco pebbles and lots and lots of other awesome stuff! Yay for frozen yogurt!

    Happy Bday to you bro too! So nice that you are close to each other, that is a special thing. 🙂

  • I second Kodi’s comment. Those pics all look amazing! …and he’s basically really adorable. Happy-Happy Birthday!

  • I have never had Froyo!
    What State are you from? I live in Springfield as well.. but Springfield, IL…
    Hope he had a great birthday!

  • Where does your brother get his tattoos done? Does Holly go to the same place? They’re great. I’d love a recommendation! :]

  • i could look through your photographs all day long! hooray for birthdays!!

  • I agree with Alexa. Your brother’s tattoos are amazing!

  • Do you like, only surround yourself with beautiful people or is that a total coincidence? haha

  • i randomly just stumbled across your blog, but his tattoos are amazing! what is the artist’s name???

  • I need an intervention, too! I am sooo obsessed with frozen yogurt that I buy them in take-home packages and travel 45 minutes to go to the best places! What a beautiful disease! XD

  • so sweet! I turned 21 just the day before 🙂 Best wishes for Doran! and agree brothers are adorable, i have older one, love him so much

  • Think they would read the BILL if they had to live by it?

    Well, it should be…

    Yep what.s good for the goose is good for the gander. Great idea.

    Notice that the Chi

  • Blah, blah, blah, we moved on and the kids started asking different questions. 3 minutes later, a girl named Molly asked, “I’ve always heard that we were made in God’s image, but sometimes I wonder if that means exactly in God’s image. Like, we only have 2 arms, but what if God has 4?” Quick as lightning, a guy across the room yells, “Molly, duh- God transcends arms!”.

  • And what about women lawyers–is it also risky to wear the wedge to a law firm interview? No one will say that the wedge is a career-killer, like flip-flops, Birkenstocks, or Crocs. But some do think they are a bit clunky, if not funky.

  • I did not like the way you wrote the article. I felt as if you were inclined only to one side of the story and probably you did not cover the other aspect of the story. Wake up and realize! This isn’t a good thing.

  • Nice blog and the article are simply superb. The article posted was very informative and useful. You people are doing a great job. Keep going.
