Those look great Cblakes. When I saw that first picture of you I thought, "oh man, he shaved his awesome beard off." Then the thought came to me that its really not that big of a deal because you'll be able to grow it back no prob. A beard of that magnitude would take me a year or so to grow.

What great pictures. It looks like you all had a great time That's so cool that you were able to bless both Lucas and Ben on the same day.

Mary is such a doll. She is getting so big!

Cblakes, I need to thank you for the hint on how to open multiple windows on Firefox. It makes life a lot easier!

Also, how do you get your descriptions to center underneath your pictures? Mine always go to the wrong side.

Great pictures! I love the one of everyone reading, including Mary. And is it just me, or do Ben and Lukas look a lot alike?

d. spencer: The beard shaving was an accident. I was trimming it before the trip, and talking with mary while oiling up the blades. I guess I got too distracted because I realized too late that I forgot to put back the attachment on the trimmers. There was no salvaging the beard. It sadly had to go. Thanks for noticing. I'll probably grow it back next week:)

Katie - Thanks. I'm glad the firefox tip helped you out. I love the tabs. I've heard that Safari and explorer have tab features as well now.

About the descriptions being centered beneath the pictures...here's what I think your solution is. Feel free to call me if this doesn't make sense:

1. When you are in the "new post" screen, make sure you're in "compose" mode rather than "html" mode. Make the selection by clicking the "compose" tab on the top right of the content window.

2. When you click on the picture icon and the "upload images" window appears, select the "center" layout option. This will put images in the center and will force text to be either above or below the image.

3. When you are back at the "new post" window, and being in the "compose" mode, click the option for centering text in the toolbar. It is just like the option for centering text in microsoft word.

I hope that helps! I'm glad for Gracie and you and Ian that Gracie is past the colic business:)
