Standard Buckethead shot.

Barbara says that all family albums are the same, if you squint a bit – “trip to the beach”, “Christmas”, and so on. If she’s right, I think “child with bucket on head” is part of the canon.
Blame this one on my genes, not Fiona’s!

Grade 2: It’s brutal out there

eteeth1
Man, its tough for boys out there in grade 2. In 10 days, Ethan has:
* been in a fist-fight,
* had a door slammed into his face, splitting his lip and loosening teeth (pic),
* been kicked in the eye, with resulting li’l shiner
* had a cut across his throat (he did ask for it – literally asked his friend Max ” can you get that giant branch, and make a scar across my throat?
* skidded & slipped on asphalt, ending up with a 1.5 inch square dressing on his knee.

Nick’s 45th Birthday!

Thanks so much to Karen & Pete for hosting a perfect party, and to the mighty Hickeys for babysitting, and Dave on Barbie Duty! I couldnt have had a better time. Thanks to everyone who came and especially those who travelled a long way to be there,like John Travis, Steve and Stace! You’re all ace. I dont know how I got to be so lucky, to have such a fine bunch around me, but I feel very thankful.

Thanks to John C for the fine photos!
