James, Sheryl, Fionna and Abby on the lake

Another themed blog episode. Here are a bunch of great shots from the kitchen, starting with the "Earth Day" desktop wallpaper I'm currently using on my laptop. This April 22nd, I didn't get in my traditional (if 4 years running is a tradition) "The Ice Just Cleared Off The Lake" kayaking trip. Instead, I took the kiddo to gymnastics and then went to a medical meeting. Oh well. At least that night, I got to hear loon calls and spring peepers off our back deck.


Next is a photo of the bad Abigail hair morning I usually have to contend with. Why is it that my kids will only eat breakfast while standing at the counter?


Again! More kids standing at the counter. I'm not sure why Ming-Ming is flashing gangsta rapper hand signs. Or is that Eensy Weensy Spider?


Fionna appears to have inherited daddy's jaw mechanics. Here is a whole hard boiled egg...


...and here is a plateful of fresh ebelskivers, minus one. My daughter has chipmunk DNA.

Only Mac users really "get" this photo. Everyone else just thinks that Fionna is darn cute!
