The Chang Family are some really special people; I’ve known Canis (the mommy) since 2007 when I started working for the financial software company, Advent Software.  She has been a mentor to me and we worked within the same team with her for four years.  I met Carissa when she was in her mommy’s tummy, and now she’s their little Gummy Bear (a nickname both Canis and Joe have for Carissa), I can’t believe how much time has gone by and how big she’s grown!  The last I saw her, she was just a newborn and I was carrying her around.  Now, she’s walking, talking, gives hugs, holds your hand, and does a lot of really cute things little girls do.  She even dances to Ariel’s “Under the Sea” song.  It was a real treat for me to take their family portraits this year, and I’m looking forward to seeing them more often!  Thank you Canis, Joe, and Carissa!
