Merry Christmas!

Andrew: "Thank YOU, Uncle Arnold and Aunt Peggy, for the cute sweater vest!"


Andrew checks out his Christmas gift from mom and dad...


...then says "thank you" in a special way.


Andrew helps to put together his new toy (rather, he helps dump all the parts out so daddy can assemble it.


At last, a place for Andrew to sit and write or draw. He immediately "claims" the toy by drawing all over it with a crayon. No more returns!


It's never too early to begin a career in photography.


Photoshop + cute son (if I may say so myself) = gratuitous artsy photo.

First family portraits

We took these at the Picture People in the mall... very bad scans from the photos we purchased. As a photographer, I don't like scanning purchased pictures, but the store doesn't even offer to sell a reduced resolution version for web use... so sorry!
