Geno, Fun :)

I don't have time to dig too deep but here are three that I have accessible..

1- Our new daughter Ellie at one month "workin' out"..

2- My beautiful wife Danette with our dog Chip near Moab, UT..

3- Danette again, sleeping through a storm with Adah, our other dog..

(Picture 1 was taken two weeks ago. Ellie was rolling from belly to back and I caught her initiating the roll. Pictures 2 and 3 were taken a few years back when we were caretaking a wilderness ranch on the Dolores River about 40 miles out of Moab. Our closest neighbor was 10 miles by rugged dirt rd and forget cell phone access, even the "satellite phone" worked only sparingly!)

[Geno Prussakov]

Gorgeous ones!! Thanks for breaking the ice, Gary! :approval:

Verry nice!
To bad I don't have anny cute photo's on my pc at the moment.

This is probably more fitting of a "most horrible face made by a child" contest but it's the only one I have on my computer. I'll try to get some "cute" ones up later.

Taken in June. I was holding my son in front of the pool trying to get him to go swimming with me. You can tell by the look on his face he wasn't all that interested!

What adorable pictures from everyone. It must be something to do with affiliate marketing genes :) I'll have to see what I have around the house or pay a visit to my ex's. She hsas most of the pictures. Cute pictures everyone :)

OK - so do non-human kids count? If not, that's OK, but here's my sweet Kitty. And of course I think she is the cutest ever.

Her name is Diva Las Vegas. She's a Hemingway Cat "mitten kitten" with extra toes so it looks like she has opposable thumbs. She's a big fur ball (13 lbs.) and has hair of every color so your white stuff gets dark hair on it and your dark stuff gets white hair on it. Gotta love her.

I guess that one of the hazards of owning your own wiggles car is running yourself over...

My niece did this about 2 weeks ago and had running around trying to get her unstuck...

[JamesS]

Alright I'm in:

He didn't even want to get close to him and after we left, he said "Don't ever make me do that again!"

As I am looking through the wedding photos, here is the best one out of all of them .. will pull a couple more for this contest as well :)

Braedon, 2 Yrs old, in a matching tux as his Daddy. The story .. Braedon didn't like his mommy in her dress, and was very fussy that day. During the ceremony, he ran around the back of the alter, and the photographer captured the best photo out of them all.
