Thank you!

I concur, and our opinion is shared among his circle of friends, including lately... girls. It's gonna be a fun ride.

All these handsome boys around here. They just look so much like their Dads.

I swear, you look exactly the same in every picture, glatt. (Except that one winter shot where your wife thought you looked like your dad.) The kids look bigger every time though, fancy that. Very nice picture!

Here's one I took the other day, after Minifob decided that he needed to match his sister's choice of outfit:

Oh, but it wasn't one photo--as a rule, I take about 30 photos to try to get one good one, and even then I don't always get lucky. Of course this method is only possible now that everything's digital.

It's hard to realize my oldest just celebrated her 50th birthday.
So now, are grand-kids considered offspring ? I think so.

Here is Abby's 3rd grade school pic, still in that princess and fashion model phase,
favorite of the boys in class, a whiz at reading, and all around great kid.

Clodfobble, that is a great shot of a couple of adorable kids. "Match outfits"! That's great! They sure look happy. Keep takin pictures--electrons are plentiful, but your time with them at any given stage is scarce and finite.

Two nights ago BD came by to scare up a Halloween costume. As we (and by we, I mean me) were assembling it, she asked what I'd been up to. I told her I'd recently digitized some old videotapes. I told her about a particularly cute one from 1992. She lit up and I played part of it for her. She was so tickled to see herself twenty years ago she actually had me stop the playback a number of times so she could snap a (digital, what else?) picture of the screen to share with her iPhone crew.

Keep up the happy work, they look great!

Lamplighter,

That definitely qualifies as offspring. And that definitely qualifies as one cute kid. I can see how she'd be popular in school. Way to go, Grandpa!

You all have wonderful looking offspring. Apparently the cellar kidlets are high up on the cuteness charts.
