The biggest difference between being a kid and being a grown up is that kids actually work up a sweat while attending a wedding reception.

Asher gets himself tied up in the birthday balloons. They followed him around everywhere he went.

This is a rare picture of me at a wedding. I never really realize what I look like to other people.

Not that it's a competition, but . . . Who looks cuter with our boys: me or Laura?

On Papa's hammock

Laura thought today was Easter.

Kid sister---what a babe!

I'd call these Asher's last few days of crawling.

The waning crescent

Me . . . at 30.

I'm not sure when exactly the transition happens from being an eating-and-crying lump of flesh to a real person, but I think Asher is there.

The happiest laugher I may have ever known.

Jailbreak

Dang, I have cute kids.

Asher can walk . . . so long as he has something to lean against.

And, Tal concludes with a picture worthy of the Friend cover.

Finally, he got one right.

And, more from the shoot.

Talmage wasn't quite as good at keeping me in the frame.

Laura's pastime of choice
