My family (my brother, his wife and their two kids) just concluded a two-week visit here. Given the amount of running around this sorta trip entails, and the fact that the kids are 4 and 7, I hesitate to call it a vacation.
We had a 4th birthday party for Sela on Saturday, over at my Dad’s. I was too busy reveling (okay, getting sprayed by silly string and going swimming) to take many pictures, but here’s my photoset. My wife took a lot more, and got the kids to “perform” a little, too.
I like to think I took the “candid” of the day, while my brother was making like Lawrence Welk with the bubble machine:
I think they had a good trip, and it’s always fun to spend time with the kids (in small doses before we flee back to the house and say, “How do they do it?”).
a few months back. Amazon had it for around $15 (it’s $30 as I check now). It’s one of those shows that I never caught regularly, but every rerun I’ve stumbled across has made me laugh pretty hard. So, since we had a double-strikeout last night with Netflix — 
(terrible: we gave up and turned it off after 40 minutes) and 
(even worse: we gave up after 10 minutes) — we decided to go back to Foley, Tierney, Hartman, et al. and have some guaranteed laughs.
