Time for a haircut!

Mr. Downey slicked back his hair before he left and John declared, "I'm handsome!" Everybody in the shop laughed.

John and the Paci Fairy

He's been a good sport about it, all in all. We hear an occasional "where's my blue paci?" but so far he's been reasonably contented with our reminders of all the great loot he scored, courtesy of the Paci Fairy.

David's school project

Hey, Jealousy!

Mary Claire was enjoying her introduction to The Marty Stuart Show. The attention this drew from her parents did not sit well with John, who promptly felt the need to assert himself.

Caped crusader

Whenever trouble strikes, he'll be there, to help the innocent people...figure out their iPhones.

Rainbow sighting

After a fun but brief day trip to Cleveland.

Cocktails prior to kickoff

Go Rebels!

Happy anniversary to us!

We've made it through seven years, three children, and—tonight—a smoky kitchen that set off our fire alarm. So far, so good. Keeping it interesting...

Mississippi Portrait

I swear that the mosquito landed on him just momentarily, but it managed to perch just long enough to be captured in one of the photos I took. Fortunately, we waved it away before it had time to bite.

Flashback: Pontotoc weekend

You know, just typical life in the country...

Fun with Big Daddy

He's been a great help this week. We could not have managed without him!

Durham Flashback

I don't think I've ever seen such a sophisticated word on a campaign (or anti-campaign) sign.

Wild child!

She's totally out of control these days. Geez...

Making her move

Mary Claire has quite the crush on our godson, Grady. She tried to kiss him several times tonight, despite her daddy's disapproval!

Hittin' the sauce

Tomato sauce, that is. The house has never smelled so good. We should be well-stocked for winter.

MC is a paci thief!

First day of school

Godzilla or Mary Claire?

She's wrecked David's car and train scenes at least 4 times today when she finds them unattended.

MC is 9 months old!

She's also pretty silly!
