If you've ever been in my parents' house, you've probably seen this portrait on their wall; if you've ever met my grandfather you've probably heard about this guy. Jerzy Samson, proud forefather of our family, guaranteed us a place in the Polish Nobility, and if it weren't for those pesky Bolsheviks, we still would have had the dough to go along with the title (or...

I'm all for four names. We plan on giving the kid two middle names (one for each grandfather) when we have one. Five would cross a line, but I think four names is distinctive.

Hope you're feeling ok. I like the 4th image, not even considering the single yellow blossom symbolism or the fetal-flower vector.

great photos - great smile

These guys ship to the US. I'm not sure about Canada. It looks like Amazon may start selling them as well. I hope everything is going well with the small primate production.

I still haven't forgiven them for their Diamond Shreddies promotion, which just confused me.
I guess you could say I'm Post-Shreddies.

We've still got boxes in the attic that we haven't unpacked and we moved in two years ago. I am so disorganised, but you sound like you're really on top of it all.
One day we will actually make it out to Canada to visit Calla and hopefully get to spend some time with you too.

Addie walked herself home from the off-leash park yesterday. Hubby took her to the park, she went into stealth-mode, and just as he was starting to talk himself out of panic--she was at our front door barking to be let in.

that's 50 more than 200!

Penelope's gone.
She had one more batch of babies, and had recently started venturing out of her web to visit the kids, but last night she didn't come back. I'll wait a few more days, and if she's still not back, I'll vacuum up her web and let the kids move in.
