Portrait
Last night we had our family pictures taken. (Yes, the children wore their school shirts.)
Then we went out for Chinese food at a buffet called China Sun.
Quote of the Day: "I just realized it's impossible to eat jello with chopsticks." --Emily
Thanks, Lollyjane and Mrs. Garcia. "The Mrs."--yes, Matt grew up. He really did. And yes, you get a Real picture, you privileged woman. Cindy--I love this finding-a-connection sleuthing. Gotta know how old you are and where you've lived, first. (Canada, maybe, 1986-94?)
As per usual, Paul was very solemn. sigh. -geneva
