Serious Post. What I am really proud of.
I know I joke around a lot - but I wanted to show you all what I am most proud of. (now that I have some bandwidth to use - I can do some high res)....
Almost 4 and 5.5 yrs.  Almost 8 and almost 1.  They mean more to me than anything else in the world.

Very cute.
The first pic says 4 and 5.5 yrs. If you had not said that I would have thought they are twins. You have all reasons to be a proud daddy.

that's a pretty tame "angry face" you should see him when he's really mad...

Yeah, I thought that pic said, "Daddy's just about to get that camera shoved in his face" pretty clearly...
 Good looking kids, and lots of work, I'm sure... Kevin

You traveled on a plane with 4 kids ? Are you nuts ? How did you keep them entertained ? And how did the little one stayed still in his seat ?
I'm planning a trip to asia with wife and my 2 kids (2 and 4) and I'm scared to death. My trip will be about 20 hours on the plane! |

After flying back from Baltimore to Portland yesterday with a 19 month old and a just became sick 3 year old I had to first laugh and then wish you luck. Are tranquilizers legal for small children???  I specifically bought my son, 19 month old, a t-shirt that said "Monster in training" and made him wear it for the plane rides. Fortunately they were both "mostly" well behaved on the plane rides. Last edited by bradwent; 10/18/2004 at 05:00 PM. |

You're in for it when your little girl gets older! She's going to have boys lined up for miles. My hubby always jokes that we'll have to send Natalie to a convent for high school.

Minneapolis has an airport? Or do you ride the Cannonball from Hooterville and pick up the plane in Pixley?

In your first pic is your son reading US News and World Report?

 Seriously though - planes aren't that bad with kids. Hell, it's like 2 hours to Chicago by plane or like 14 hours by car. Not a difficult choice.

Great set of kids there, Jamesurq.
The wife and I have a hard enough time with one kid, couldn't imagine the work with four! Granted, we'll probably find out how easy we have it when "the deuce" arrives at the end of December. Isn't it amazing how one's perspective in the world changes after having a child? My son is my life, and my identity. Couldn't imagine a world without him, even though I almost had to (a long story better saved for some other day and thread). What is and how do I get a frag of the Acropora Artienna?!? (somehow I think I'm falling into a trap/joke...don't know why )

Nice looking brood James. All close enough in age to "relate" to each other too. My oldest just started his freshman year in college, and my youngest is in second grade. Middle son is in eighth grade, so they all pretty much go their separate ways.
You're right when you say they ARE little beings to be proud of! Hey..not too many more of these "serious" posts. You'll shatter the image!

She looks just like her mother... Spitting image.
otolith - say the word Artienna very slowly a couple of times to yourself... (feel free to take the last two letters off - if that helps). Still want a frag?

Unfortunately I have a few frags of that myself.
 I had always wondered about it, and found nothing when I searched for it. It makes perfect sense now.

I'm glad it makes sense to you, I still haven't been able to figure it out...
