Boys will be boys

Here's an interesting parody ad I saw on the back of a magazine I received for free.  Now, I don't have a boy, and I've never raised a boy, but it seems to me that boys should be allowed (maybe even encouraged?) to get hurt often.  That is, boys should be allowed to be boys, so when they are done being boys, they will be men.

Just some Christmas pics

Going backwards through time, these pics are from the extended family Christmas celebration at our house, a visit from Aunty Nay Nay, the immediate family Christmas celebration at our house, and the extended family Christmas celebration at the Welling's house.  Okay!

I had a feeling...

I don't recall the circumstances, but I remember thinking recently that little Stella might be interested in the same sorts of things that I am...wishful thinking, maybe.  More to the point, I had a feeling she would turn out to be theologically astute.  Just a feeling, really; I can't put my finger on anything that might amount to a reason leading to that conclusion.  In any event, here's a photo, completely unstaged (honestly), that I think lends itself in the direction of confirming my feelings on the matter.
