Terrorist Alert:

Did you know that now, due to new face-scanning technology, you are no longer allowed to smile in a passport picture? You must be serious faced, so that the scanner can search the database for you and decide if you are a terrorist or not. So when my brother was taking these pictures for us, it was painful not to smile. Well, Spencer kind of enjoyed it, but for the rest of us..painful. As you can tell, Ali and I couldn't do it fully. He said a tiny smirk would probably be ok. After all, terrorists probably smirk, because they know they are so darn sneaky. Brett, of course, already has his passport and uses it to fly all over the lucky place after place, but now WE must go. Must travel!!! Where should we go? And how cute is Kate's? She looks tough in that strawberry getup.

*note to government: Although I used the word 'terrorist', there is no need to red flag my blog.
