"Oh! A camera!"

No, George. That one belongs to Kristian.

What's in that little box, Bill?

"Well, at least the Sharpie will be useful."

"Cheryl, can I use these as fishing lures?"

What a tool!

There are no pix of his egging the unresponsive houses later.

Baby Dedication Oct. 29/06

Sadly, I just missed the actual dedication of Kristian, Delia and Calvin, arriving just after the vows were made, but the parents know that I was there in my heart. I expect to receive some photos that others took.


Still feeling a bit poorly.

Feeling comfy.
