Good Idea, Bad Idea?

Now, I won't deny that I've enjoyed this week's stroll down photographic memory lane, but I've noticed that there haven't been a lot of comments on these "Favorite Pics" posts. Is that because the pleasure exceeded your powers of verbal expression, or were you all just thinking "Been there, done that. Tell us more about the lizard"?

Go ahead and be honest. If you enjoyed it, I'd like to know; if you didn't, I suggest you tell me now, lest I ignorantly subject you to similar torment six months from now when Joy has an actual birthday.

Another warm fuzzy. This is one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen.

Joy, Fred, and the bunny-duck spread Easter cheer.

Baby celebrated her 4-month birthday by getting her first cold. It wouldn't have been so bad if her panicky mom hadn't kept stuffing the bulb syringe up her nose every few minutes. Poor kid.

Every time I see this picture, I'm just sure Joy's saying, "Well, lemme tell ya, honey . . ."

Rosy cheeks, no warts.

Mom, why do you keep pointing that flashy box at me?
