For Leslie: A Post

June 14th, 2009

I’m surprised I remember how to log in and post on this blog.

After a late evening of escape with two good friends and a hot fudge sundae, followed by watching the Glee pilot on hulu.com, I’m ready for a quick, no-nonsense post. Here are some photos of our kid-luscious, yard-filling party two weeks ago, taken by the only member of our family who wasn’t occupied with hosting (e.g. re-filling the cracker basket, giving house tours) or being completely charming but relatively useless (no naming names). The photographer has his Daddy’s eye. Here are his photos in their true stream-of-consciousness wandering order:

Of course these are still party pictures. This is our mitre box.

Continuing with our garage tour, these are some bike wheels.
