In Which I Spoil A Surprise

This year for Christmas, my mom asked for photos of the family to frame for the new house in Ohio. Well, it's the first of March, and I have just now finally gotten it done, so I thought I would spoil the surprise for her by posting them here.

Here's Gracie, age 8. She's been teething.I'm not wild about the photo because her chin is blurry and she was just generally misbehaving and aggravating me when this was taken, but it'll do for now.

This is Tommy, age 6 AND-A-HALF. Don't dare forget the and-a-half. To me his face seems so much more grown up now than it did even six months ago.
And lastly, Katie, age almost 5, who now wishes to be called Katie Joye, except for the days when she is adamantly against it.
