Rest in peace Mom. We love you.

I’ve successfully crossed the river. Here Dad, take my hand. I can help you cross it too!

Thanks sweetheart. Daddy really appreciates your help. Photo taken July 29, 2005.

Do you want me to cross that really big stream, Daddy?

Ooooooh! Daddy can we play catch with the football.

Unfortunately, that football is not ours sweetie. I think we might have some other toys to play with though. Photo taken July 29, 2005.

Wow! This is one big bathtub, Daddy!

I’m the one who’s hungry, Daddy!

Ok, we now know who is hungry, and it’s not Vincent! Kathryn is dragging Daddy into the house to get some ‘foooood’. Photo taken July 21, 2005.

Hungry!

Kathryn is giving us the sign for hunger. So someone’s hungry, but I’m not sure whether it’s Kathryn, or Vincent our garden troll. Photo taken July 21, 2005.

Ok, it looks like they have everything under control — they don’t need my help right now.

Well, at least you offered your help sweetie. Photo taken July 21, 2005.

Here, I’ll just go help the nice man unload my package!

That’s my little peanut — always trying to be helpful. Photo taken July 21, 2005.

Whoa! That’s one big package! Is it for me?

Our shed kit has arrived! Our shed kit has arrived! Photo taken July 21, 2005.

I sometimes take issue with what Robert Scoble writes, however, I really admire this honest appraisal of Microsoft’s web development tool chain. MS is going to have a hard time competing against all of the fabulous open source tools available to web developers. I wish all of my clients would read this.

You just know I’m going to get in trouble for this.
But.
I.
Just.
Can’t.
Resist.

Hi hon, I love you!
Yes, I’ll be getting the couch ready to sleep on now.

Everyone say “Cheeeeeese”!
