The kids: Catherine Elizabeth ("Cate") born March 2004 and Grace Olivia born December 2005.

Waiting to see Santa Claus, Dec. 2007 Advent Calendar, Dec. 2007
   
The two birthday girls -- 2007 Grace signing "more" (wanting to blow out the candle again).
   
Grace sharing birthday cake with Cate. I do not know.  Practicing surprised faces?

It's not easy to get kids to lie still long enough to take a picture like this. Family Portrait (July 2007)

Grace and Cate in the swingset (May 2007) July 2007
   
Grace and Cate Cate (3 years)
   
Grace thinks she is hiding (16 months) Same idea, different kid (Cate at 13 months)
   
Hmmm.  What to do, what to do? A better hiding place than behind the strainer, at least.
   
We are going to pay for this when the girls select our nursing home.  (Grace at 15 months) Pony ride (Cate at almost 3 yrs old)
   
Stampede at Pioneer Plaza (Dec. 2006) Watching Rice University's first bowl game in 45 years.  We were unable to get the camera out fast enough to take a picture while Rice was not yet losing.  Maybe we will try again in the year 2051.

Not a kid:

Not a family member, but merits a picture nonetheless: the bobcat in our Tampa backyard (yes, really!); so far, only rabbits at the Texas house -- we don't anticipate any bobcats here (but if so, perhaps we can convince them to eat the rabbits).
