We don’t do it often (ever?) but we stopped by McDonald’s the other day in a “we need to feed these kids and let them play” emergency on the way home from the library (any fast food play area is known as a ‘french fry climbing place’ to our kids).

I observe that Bailey cries more often and more hard-core than Netta.
But neither of them cry very much. Mostly they just grunt.

Because I can, I’m going to periodically post some of the photos I take for the newspaper on our family blog. I know at least my mom will dig it, and I see it as a way to share with friends and family and even Art and Lew a little of what I do for work. They see the blog, and now they’ll see my photos (we can’t get the paper delivered where we are). Jessica likes this idea, too, and that is reason enough! So, here are some photos from girls HS tennis today. Edina vs. Mounds View.

Last night was my first night back at work for two weeks. I photographed a high school football game and, during halftime, was gifted with this lovely streaker!

My mother is in town, here are some photos she took.
