Every child should look so happy at this time of the year.

Worth pulling out again.

I used plenty of caffeine to get me through finals, and I decided I really don't like colas.

What more could a father want?

This is a hard sight to see when you're leaving the house before the rest of the family is even awake. It was one cold week!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Some pictures don't jump out to you as much until a few years after you've taken them. I just stumbled across this one in my archives. I like it a lot.

These discs contain every picture I've ever taken, and I just threw them all away. Now I have four external hard drives. I'm sure I'll throw those away in a few years and transfer all the data to my keychain. Ooooh, I love technology . . . but not, as much as you, you see.

My nieces

Ah . . . Thanksgiving

All kids look cuter in black and white.

After nearly 8 days of confinement, Talmage may be starting to lose it.

How do you get your owner's attention?

Laura thinks I let Talmage eat too much sugar. I disagree.

This is Talmage . . . on the swine flu. Any questions?

I think Laura is trying to initiate a "Who Wore It Better?" segment in our family. I think the lion outfit is a toss up between Talmage and Asher. But, just wait until I wear the outfit next year.

Sure, the ball is no where in sight, but he certainly looks good.

A pitcher

Davis--Scary!

His head is too small, but he looks pretty cute.

The complicated being-in-the-team-huddle-with-players-wearing-the-same-color-jersey-as-you concept still kind of eludes Talmage.

Talmage has a very difficult time keeping his shirt on during a game.

Asher

I'm a lucky man!

This picture came a fraction of a second after Talmage knocked over the tower of pumpkins he was posing on.
