I should post something deep, but I'm on vacation and don't feel like it.

So, instead, here are more photographs. No, not of me. Never of me. I don't like pictures of me. The video I posted last week had my voice in it, which I also don't like much, but that's as much of me that I am comfortable putting out on the Internet.

Nope, these are more of my son. When I downloaded the pictures off of my camera the other day, I found this series that made me laugh (which is awful, because my son is crying in the last one).

I was trying to take my son's picture to get a nice Christmas portrait to give out to the grandparents, and at one point he picked up a stick off of the ground. He began to waive it around, and hit my camera. I then took the stick away, which caused him great distress. "My stick!" he cried, "My stiiiiiiiiiiick!" Then he dissolved into tears and turned on The Big Wet Puppy Dog Eyes.





Take one happy little boy....

Add one piece of debris still laying around from when Hurricane Ike blew through...

Allow the boy to practice his manual dexterity by swinging his stick at Mom's camera...

Have the Cruel and Heartless Mother take away the beloved stick and toss it aside...

And you get the biggest, saddest eyes ever seen.

Really, how could I be so cruel? No wonder he hates me.

Happy New Year to all of you, and may 2009 give you all the things you want and love, and may no one (such as me) come along and take them away from you!

Thank you! ^_^

Indeed! (And I love his sweater...do they make it in a bigger size??)

Dunno. Maybe. I think I got it at Old Navy (I'm cheap like that), if you want to go and look for one like it. :)

The last one looks like a teary-eyed mugshot. Promise us that you'll not torture him with that photo when he gets older.

Of course I will! I'm a mother, and that's one of the few perks I get.

At least she hasn't threatened what I have with my son. I've uploaded all his baby photos to a protected MySpace page and when he starts dating, I'm going to slyly have his girlfriends friended so they can see all those photos!

That's just C--R--U--E--L.

Quit acting so shocked!

You have a Mom: you know (damned well) mothers can be cruel. It's payback for all the morning sickness, swollen ankles, and stretchmarks we endured to bring you into this world. ;P

To be fair, that wasn't my original intent on the page. It was to show friends and family that don't live nearby how he's growing.

It just works out well all the way around, I guess ;^D

He is too cute, how do you say no to those eyes? I don't envy you for having to!

The second one is my favorite.

We got your card and letter. We didn't send anything this year (long story, finances, yes we were that broke, blah.)

New year will be better right?

I loved your letter, laughed out loud, made my husband listen to me read it. I look forward to your letter every year. I mean it!

Glad you got a kick out of the my No Good Newsletter. Hope next year is better; this one was hard for a lot of people.

I can say no to the eyes, but I admit it's hard sometimes.

Great photo essay! And the last photo really tells the story!

Have a great vacation!

Sorry bout that. Will try to do some non-cute posts very soon and give you a chance to recover.

All moms are evil. I know I am, because every time I see that picture of his eyes with the tears perched on his lower lashes, I smile. How sick is that?

Happy New Year!

I laugh at Camie sometimes when she's upset over silly things. Then she cries more. I try not to laugh out loud, but sometimes I can't help it, as she's being totally ridiculous. :P

Aw man. He looks like you just took candy away from him and are gloating about eating it in front of him.

Of course, I know that you're diabetic and wouldn't do that... unless you had low blood sugar!

Actually, his expression when you take food away from is rage, not sadness. The boy has a temper. You've heard the term "hot headed?" If you are touching his scalp when he gets angry, it feels like he goes from a normal temperature to a 104 degree fever in 0.4 seconds.
