It's cool that your school year matches your calendar year.

Up here, we refer to an academic year with two years. (e.g. 2008-2009)

Yeah, I think I'd find it annoying having the year split in two, but really your big break for the kids revolves around summer just as ours does, which I think is great for the kids.

My wife and I stayed with our son's family for Christmas and I took portraits of everyone on XMAS eve. My wife bought them all Christmas type PJs. The baby was only 2 weeks old.

This is what they looked like about 15 years ago. I used to take them out a few times goose and duck hunting. They were too young to shoot but they did enjoy the outings with me and also drinking hot chocolate. I'm glad that they have both grown up with a deep and lasting friendship, sometimes siblings don't get along.

Exactly, very impressive. I put personally sushi into two categories: stuff made out of seafood that I'd never eat, and .. umm, OK, one category.

The "Huh? What planet am I on?" expression on the baby's face is priceless.

Well, the family that slays together, stays together.
