Hi.
Cute hoodie. Love your facial expression, too. 
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! So cute!
Beyond a few genetic obligations, I fully agree you can pick and choose who you consider to be family.
I'm moving in a few weeks and will coincidentally be a town away from where my cousin lives. We haven't had much contact in about 20 years, but her kids are constantly asking when I'll be in town. It will be fun to spoil them rotten. Mainly, I think they just want to visit me because they know I'll bring the dog.

It looks much nicer on her than our most famous hooded New Englander.
I have been fiddling around with this photo of my youngest son
using various apps on my iPad
so far I have produced these

My wife got a haircut yesterday and asked me to take pictures (she's a teacher), and it was a nice opportunity to play with one of my new lenses:
If I may say so, Timby, your wife is quite lovely (also, very nice haircut)!
Thank you. I botched the photos (it was a very odd sun and I wound up over-exposing just about all of them ), but she needed a new headshot for her weekly email to parents, so I guess it worked out all right.
Miss Chicken I like the third app fiddle. Which one does he like?
He likes the last one because he says he looks like a Sith.
I like the third one most because his eye colour in that reminds me of the Afghan Girl.

I love all those pictures, Miss Chicken. Has anyone ever told your son he looks a little bit like Prince William?
Nope, Prince William has never been mentioned.
He was pleased when someone said he looked like Anakin in the original photo.
My son has the opinion that he is ugly. He thinks his nose and lips are too large.

Nah, he's very handsome...he should have a better opinion about his physical appearance. He's like a hybrid of Hayden Christensen and Prince William. I'm surprised all the girls aren't all over him because of those eyes.
He is very shy - though he refers to himself as 'anti-social' - due to having a serious speech problem when young (caused by having cerebral palsy and a hearing problem) and also because he was teased and bullied at school. He also hates the fact that he looks younger than he is. He is 26 in that photo and almost 30 now.
I wish I looked younger than I am.

So very sorry to hear that. Other kids can be so incredibly mean and inconsiderate of other children and their medical issues. I've seen it happen so often in my life. I've seen visually and speech-impaired kids treated like garbage and it's always incensed me...your son should never feel bad about himself. I know he and others like him will probably carry the emotional scars of bullying and peer abuse for the rest of their lives, but always remind him that he's not what other people have told him he is. He's what he wants to be.
Sorry to get on my psychological soapbox like that, but I was teased an awful lot as a kid because I had a slight overbite, didn't come from a very well-to-do family and was shy and reclusive. Those sorts of things stay with you for a long, long time and I'm so thankful that my parents, other family and close friends were there to remind me what a good and valuable person I was. Always be a rod of support for your boy, Miss Chicken. No kid deserves to grow up with the scars of verbal abuse, no matter what the source. Even as a grown adult he needs to be reminded that he's a great person who's better than his problems.

Some Easter pics- flowers from my mom's garden that I took to church.

I was extremely shy, small and introverted in school and bullied for that and general weirdness. Though I am socially extremely confident now it marked me for life in many ways. A positive one being increased empathy.
Kira's Mom those rice crispie eggs look GREAT!
^They melted in the car during church. 
Tasted good, though!
