The Cupcake

This cupcake is sitting out front of Evan's office at Google. This is a small example of how much money this company has to blow. My question is: "why don't you just give more money to your employees instead of buying silly GIGANTIC decorations?" I wish it worked that way! I suppose this is part of what makes working there so great. It creates a very fun environment.
We told McKenzie that the cupcake was there because they knew it was Brynn's birthday. (We ate lunch with Evan at Google on her birthday.) "Cupcake" is actually the name of the latest release/ version of android (inside the company). Android is Google's mobile operating system (the Google phone). Apparently, desserts are just code talk for an upcoming release. It's appropriate then that we used our google phone to take this fun picture!

Looks like fun! I am with you on "why blow money on inane decorations". If they have the money to blow, they could put it to better use ...

Anyway -- your girls are cute! I had a good belly laugh at McKenzie's portrait of you! You are quite stunning!!! And she is quite the artist.

Have a great week! It looks like you're doing a great job in the "mom" department. :)

Rachel,
Thanks so much. I am trying. Truth is, we are pretty lonely around here. I am doing my best to keep us busy. Moving is tough! Hope you are doing well with that precious new baby.

That's funny. What a great company to work for!
How could you be lonely? I'm sure you make friends immediately everywhere you go. You & Evan are so fun. So, I'm thinking you can find Eric a job & we'll move up there & be best friends. Sound good?
