Owen's Nuptials

I just showed Catherine the footage of the movie that James took of Owen's First Communion.

She said "I didn't know Owen got married!!!" She was very shocked.

My mother-in-law the child pornographer

As many of you know, up until recently I hosted some Gallery installs for my family and my in-laws. I've stopped offering this and have convinced most to switch to flickr, but I hadn't yet removed the old pictures.

So last week, the ISP that hosts those old galleries forwarded me this email:

That's right. The FBI and Interpol were even brought in. I've since pulled all of the galleries, not because of this garbage, but simply because I had been meaning to do it since the end of last year. That particular link went to an album that my mother-in-law had set up entitled "Rub-a-dub-dub, Three kids in a tub" and had pictures of my daughter Catherine and two of her cousins, Gavin and Quinnie. NAKED IN THE BATHTUB!!!!!!111

I pulled a backup and am presenting you with the most offensive picture in the group, tastefully censored for God-fearing eyes.


The scandal! Thankfully this was the only photo where YOUNG PENISES were on display. I'll say nothing of the bare, female chests. AVERT YOUR EYES!

The rest of the photos pretty much only show above the waist, and anything below the waste is always underwater. Leave it to Italy's finest to keep things in line.
