Father, me, two kids and two of five grandchildren. My kids Carlos and Cristina have given each other photo rabbit ears for 30 years. Some kids are always kids.
I was sorry to read about your mother, Carl, but pleased to see your Dad looking so hearty–and I enjoyed the happy smiles on you and the next two generations. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Happy New Year to you all!
(I was very pleased to receive your great invitation and need your gmail address so I can respond. Many thanks!)
Loved seeing your family photo, Carl. Many thanks for all the smiles in 2012. You are a gem and so is your blog!! Best wishes to you and your beautiful family for a happy 2013.
I love this photo Carl! Happiest of New Years to you and yours! I just caught up on your recent cartoons and I just shake my head thinking about how you come up with these things. Very entertaining! Margie
Nice picture. Happy New Year! I went to my grandparents’ house, and we played Wii games. My grandpa kicked my butt in “Wii Sports” bowling, but I won in tennis.
Heart warming Carl – good to see your face not pasted on for once –
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Naturally there are others not in pic. It was joy and sadness. Finally got everyone together but mother passed Sept 17. My first Christmas in 63 years without her.
I can’t take a “normal” family pic anymore…if I’m not busting out the rabbit ears or upside down sunglasses, then I’m just not feeling right. Happy New Year! Your family is lovely.
There is nothing better than the love of family! Beautiful children and grandchildren, Carl. It’s also really nice to see a photo of your father. What blessings all round! Happy New Year to you and yours, Carl.
It truly does not get better than that. Happy New Year, Carl, thanks for all the laughs you’ve given me this year…can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2013.
