The Odd Family

We really aren’t the strangest family around. I’m sure there are much stranger people. We just seem to exhibit our oddities on camera far too often.

Observe:

That’s is how Lucas sleeps. It’s a wonder the boy doesn’t inhale his entire fitted sheet every night.



We had cherries with dinner the other night. This is what having children does to you. My normally über-sober spouse puts cherries in her eye sockets.



OK, nothing particularly strange about Jonah in this photo. But trust me, he was probably *about* to launch into weirdness and start reciting Pokemon card stats or something.



Carrie in her Japanese School Girl uniform. Nothing weird about this either, but I took this before she left for Japan and I’d forgotten to post it. Can’t wait to hear all about her Study Abroad trip!



Ellis. At her gymnastics exhibition last month. Now the thing you must understand is that, “I AM NOT ASKING HER TO POSE. SHE POSED THAT WAY ALL ON HER OWN.” As a matter of fact, anytime you have a camera in your hand she’ll break into a pose like this and preen for the camera. It’s frightening and WE ARE SO DOOMED.



But I’m perfectly NORMAL, right?

Yes, the HEAD will kill you all.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
