"How Hard Is It To Upload A Few Pictures?"

That's what my sister, Julia, says to me nearly every day. Someday she'll be a mom and she'll realize just how much time it takes to give Quincy her morning snuggle, go outside and watch the tree cutters working, say hello to the roaming puppy, fix Max french toast sticks, fix me and Quincy toast, turkey and cheese, load the dishwasher, clean and put away the crock pot, wipe the counters, sweep the floors, put the kids in the tub, make three beds, clean up a closet full of toys, wash two kids, dry two kids, dress two kids, do two kids hair, shave your legs, wash yourself, get yourself dressed, do your hair, and brush your teeth. Someday she'll understand that its not that hard to upload pictures, it's just getting to the task that is hard. But for now, here's the darn pictures Julia. :)

It's pretty lucky that we had this fireman's hat to go along with Max's new engine. Too bad he won't wear it.I love this smile.
The new outfit is dang cute - thanks Julia.


Once when I was sitting in Pancake City, Kirksville's local greasy spoon, I overheard the waitress Kathleen, who is missing her two front teeth, say "It's not pornography! Everyone has naked pictures of thier kids." For some reason that always comes to my mind and I laugh a little - Kathleen will never know that someone will remember those words forever. I don't have very many naked pictures of my kids because I rarely have my camera in the rooms where they are most likely to be naked, but I took this picture just so I could document Kathleens words.

And finally, Max on his new fire engine, thanks Grandma. He loves it. I think he may grow up to be a symphony conductor, because he does the same thing with his right hand every time the music starts.
