Traditionalists are pessimists about the future and optimists about the past.


Here is Ezra back when he was a little angel, and not the grizzling, snotty, always into cupboards and drawers, toy scattering domestic terrorist that we've been faced with most evenings.

Careful with the denigration. This is my grandson you are deriding. He looks like an angel to me.

Sue said...

Ohhh...he's growing up and becoming a real child!
Him and Henry can start playing tag team with annoying you!
"Hey, Henry!!! I'm done with makin' a mess and screwin' with Dad's head....it's you turn now!! Just give me a yell when you're tired and I'll take over again!!!"
hahahaha

Roddy, he's not screeching here.

Kris said...

Sue, they've already started.

Kris said...

One Planet, I'm with Charlie!

Kris said...

One Planet, bite him again!

Kris said...

Kimy, it seems to capture it.

Domestic Terrorist!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Ez is sure looking like he is upto something in the picture.

BTW, you are getting better at the adjective game with each passing day. By the time Henry and Ezra leave college, you will have compiled your very own "McCracken Thesaurus On Children For Parental Use."

But I'm not sure how kids will react to that!!

I really liked Sue's take on the situation as well.

Only if terrorists were this cute... I would begin funding Al Qaeda.

Roddy said...

This is one good looking kid. Sorry Henry, you are still up there in the looks department, but you are certainly going to have an uphill battle with your brother.
Not long now Ezra and it's your birthday.
You have to translate I'm afraid Kris.

Kris said...

Yamini, since I labelled him a terrorist, he has cleaned up his act a bit.

Kris said...

Priyanka, Al Qaeda consider Ezra an infidel...

Kris said...

Roddy, it is a family trait for the younger brother to be better looking than the older one.

Roddy said...

You are probably right....However?
