From the Vault, Part 1

The last few days I've been tackling a mammoth and long-overdue task: sorting through nearly three years of digital photos, deleting pictures that are redundant, out of focus, or uninteresting. The job has left me convinced that my children are among the most adorable in the world -- from a completely neutral point of view, of course. If they were hideous, I think I would admit it to all of you, but they are radiant beams of lightness and joy, so I evaluate accordingly. I am their mother, but I think that I can be fair-minded and objective about this, definitely.

This grumpy old man picture of Malcolm was taken at four months old. He's even cute when he's surly!
