It's a good place to visit. Thanks. Linda - I styled his hair. In fact, I had to re-do it about three times once we started (changing clothes didn't help it much). I must admit he is cute. It's good to know it's not just parental pride clouding my judgment. At the same time, however, I don't want him to ever let it go to his head. Looks are just icing on the cake (as we've all witnessed with both you and your daughter, if I may say so). JoAnn - I just dropped by your blog. It’s a good place to visit. Thanks.

And omg, those cute little loafers! At first I thought I was seeing things, but someone definitely did "style" his hair. Very cute. Ben is an amazingly handsome boy. I used to think he mostly resembled you, Mark, but I'm seeing Shannon in his features here and there. I love the sitting pose of Ben in his suit. And omg, those cute little loafers!

He looked at her like he'd never heard that before... because he hadn't. When we looked at the pictures later to choose our package (most men wish they could choose their package), Ben kept saying, "I want the criss cross applesauce." So, this woman had quite an influence over Ben's budding lexicon. Very funny caption, butthead. MG - I like you mangling of the word "pictures" to "picutres." It's the Canadian variation of "picuters," which conveys "cute pictures." Sorry you didn't see this in time to save Moonshot from JC Penney's photographic clutches. I don't know that we've used JC Penney for portraits in the past, but we've used Sears, and PI definitely beats them.

Ben's cuteness has been properly bottled for future enjoyment. I wish I had taken the time to dig through your archives and refresh my memory on your Phonto Innovations recommendation. Moonshto ran Norah over to JC Penny's last week and was completely dissappointed. It seemed so simple...and we had a coupon...ah well, we got some cute pictures and now we know for next year.

Sounds like a really bad boy band that gets most of their lyrical ideas from their grandmothers. Handsome lad you and Shannon have there. I remember the portrait pics from last year and, in spite of the relatively amateurish photographer you were burdened with, he looks even better now than then. That top caption should be, <em>"Mommy's got Daddy by the... what? I didn't catch that. Could you repeat it please?"</em> “Criss Cross Applesauce”??

Thanks! Ah yes. Conducting an orchestra. I like that. He did sleep his baby nights away with Mozart softly playing in the background. Well, not Mozart himself, but folks playing his music. You understand. Dave - Fixed it. Thanks!

They lost some resolution doing that. Typo:
