New Pictures Uploaded

New pictures uploaded to our Flickr site; sets include New Orleans trip, Spring Concert, Easter, Zoo Field Trip, and Free Comic Book Day. Some of our favorites:

Uncle Paul in the House

Uncle Paul stopped by to read a bedtime story about healthcare from the bad old days. Arthur is sporting evidence of a tough week that included: getting hit with a shovel in the face, having his lip caught in a car seat buckle, and sticking his finger in a light socket.

Life Imitating Art

Henry wanted to share this picture on the family blog:

"It is a barn and a house. With a sheep in the barn, eating hay. And there's a spider web on the roof of the house. And there's super heroes in the house. And they are Human Torch and Reptil. There's clouds in the sky."

New House

Henry wanted to put this picture on the family blog (and not on his personal blog). He said more people would see it if it was on our family blog.

"The car is on fire, and a plane is flying. There is a slide in our yard."

Meet the Pirates

Took a picture of Henry & Arthur when they were playing pirates. They pushed the beds together in the guest bedroom to make a pirate ship and sailed off across the high seas. Arthur was the Captain, and Henry was the First Mate. Arthur was in charge of the maps and navigating the boat. Henry was in charge of loading and unloading cargo. My job was to come up with new names for islands to visit.

PIRATE UPDATE: Christmas wishes granted.
