when you give a kid a camera...

..they are more than likely to make a face. Leave it to Brandan to be himself, wild and crazy (but completely lovable, if you can believe it). I caught the kids (sitting WAY TOOO close to the tv) playing games very peacefully this morning. It had to be documented that they were not arguing over the remote, the choice of game, or how to control what happened next.

Surprisingly enough, the cool and rainy weather hasn't created too many "I'm bored" faces. Maybe it is the lack of furniture in the family room, in anticipation of the new stuff that should be here soon.


Brandan's shaggy surfer hair is getting really LONG. Of all the fads to try out...

...sweet and innocent princess is still on a "don't take my picture" kick - but good bribes can pay off with smiles...

...the trials of cool summer days continue...
