Shasta the Liger

Here are Abe and Sebby with Shasta the Liger at the Monte Bean Museum. They had her out and were taking people's pictures with her for the Museum's 30th Anniversary. This Saturday, there will be birthday cake at noon. :)

Happy Baby in Basket

We had some cute pictures of Malachi with the bunny, too, but he looked more concerned than happy in most of them. It's because the bunny kept snuggling up against Malachi's face and nibbling on his chin, and it made Ky nervous. Anyway, that's the one thing I hate about getting pictures taken (well, besides when they don't turn out cute because a.) your kids are cranky or b.) the photographer takes "friendliness" to an alarming rather than a smile-inducing level): all the darling ones you have to leave on "the cutting-room floor" (or whatever you call it in a photo studio).

Three boys and a bunny

I saw an advertisement that Fotogenix had a live bunny to take pictures with at Easter time, so we went and got some pictures of the boys. Sebby loved the bunny. Abey said he liked it, but he didn't want to hold it. :) I held it myself when it wasn't being in a picture, and that was my favorite part!! It was such a cute, small, furry bunny!! However--it did have its drawbacks--since the only thing harder than getting three little boys to all hold still and open their eyes and look at the camera at once, is getting three boys and a bunny to all hold still and open their eyes and look at the camera at once. :)

Abey and his "bear"

Every day when Abe goes down for his nap, he wants me to put Malachi in his bed so he can "hug him like a bear." They both love it. Malachi just giggles and giggles when Abey smiles at him.

Playing Outside

Three gigglers

Abey and Sebby were having a great time making Malachi laugh. I don't know who was enjoying it more, Ky, or the older boys (or me) :) Ky will be three months old tomorrow!

Doesn't Malachi look cute in his tiny Sunday outfit?

Monty Python

This one is for Mike, by special request. I wish we'd had room to write which sketches each quote is from. However, if you are curious, you can ask us. :) I am also posting, for your enjoyment, three very good video clips (including the "Wuthering Heights in Semaphore Code" sketch from which the winning quote comes.) Enjoy!!



"Wuthering Heights in Semaphore Code"



"Oliver Cromwell" (I don't know who did the animation on this; that's not part of the sketch, but it was the only version I could find.)

And: "The Ministry of Silly Walks"

Well done, Karl!

You're on your way to your lounge suite! And many happy returns of the day to you. We hope it's been a pleasant one.

What we have been doing all week

This:



At least we're getting a lot of practice with politely covering our mouths! (And luckily, Malachi has remained healthy so far!)
