We've filled the gap before the twins' arrival, so we're now caught up through August 2007. Go us.

Oh, and there's another 'caption contest' in there somewhere. Heck, this time we might even edit the caption if we get some good entries. :)

In mostly unrelated news, Adric pulled himself up to standing today (he's been crawling for a couple of weeks), and Riley started crawling in earnest today (forwards, that is). [INSERT DEITY HERE] help us all.

So, you remember those kids I have? The ones that I used to post pictures of with wisecracking captions?

Well, we didn't really stop taking pictures. But we did stop posting them for a while (most recently for a hard drive failure, but less recently I'm going to have to go with sheer lack of copons).

So anyway, while we're nowhere near completely caught up, I've just added on five months' worth. Only eight or so to go. And still with the smartass captions, because I know that's what brings people back. :)

They are posted here:

and here:

As usual, the "uploaded date" is listed in parentheses so you can at least see what got added recently.

Have fun!

Covering March, April, and May. Weird lighting effects! Aliens! Improbable-looking poses! Funny outfits! Gratuitous! Exclamation! Points!

Cuteness, smartass captions, legos, you know the drill.

Also some pictures from our trip to the San Diego Zoo, in which I am revealed to be, in fact, short.

This set was taken mostly with cameras other than our usual digital camera, which had decided that it could only take one picture before deciding that it's out of charge (even when plugged in to wall current!) and auto-shutting down, and has been sent back for a refund. So we have some actual film pictures, including some with my Pentax K1000 (you know it's a good camera when they keep making the same one for 25 years) and Megan's camera, plus still shots from our camcorder, etc. It's an interesting hodgepodge, but I can't wait to replace our digital camera...among other things, I'd forgotten just how fast you can pay for a digital camera by not having to pay to get your film processed. Yiy.

On a related note, I'd like to send a big shout-out--preferably delivered via megaphone from about six inches away from either of their ears--to the ICS Support folks, who in their paranoia have decided that the designated grad student Unix machines should ensure that any time you create a file while logged in through them that its permissions will get munged to be accessible only to you...even if they're being created based on existing Unix files that have completely different permissions. Note that this is (fortunately!) not true of other grad-student-accessible machines on the same file system, so this is both annoying and ineffectual--my favorite kind of security precaution.

Corwin's still cute and the captions still attempting humor, though, so have fun checking 'em out.

Not too many pictures of him actually crawling--they just look like him lying on his stomach--but what the heck, we still provide the smartass captions, which is what you're all here for anyway. ;)

Includes an apparent "Pinky and the Brain" moment.

naudiz, make sure you take your anticuteamines first. We wouldn't want you to go into toxic shock or anything. ;)
