Objectively Speaking….

baby stink eye evolved into baby wink eye Chris is holding Isaac in front of him, studiously frowning slightly.  Me: “Uh…what’s up?”  Chris: “Objectively speaking, I mean, being completely objective, he really is the cutest baby in the world.” Me: (snort) “Objectively speaking?”  Chris: “Yeah! He is the cutest. Objectively speaking.”  Me: “Objectively speaking.”  Chris: “Yeah….

Kyoto’s Imperial Palace

Me: “So…the Imperial Palace was kind of a snore fest.” Chris: “Yeah. But I’m glad we did it.” Isaac: (Zzzzzzzzzzzz)  We returned to Kyoto in 2011 with four-week-old Isaac to tour Kyoto’s Imperial Palace and Fushimi Inari Shrine.

A Redneck Christmas

It may be uncharitable to say some denizens of the Pensacola area are white trash.
