Little Al is our dog. I have talked about him before,but I have to give the whole story to describe these pictures. We got Little Al sometime in early 2000 from Amber's brother Alan. He (Alan) originally wanted Al for himself, but there was a city ordinance in the town he was moving to that prohibited pit bulls. So, we got to have Little Al since Big Al could not keep him. Al has been our dog, actually more like our firstborn, ever since. He is great with Abbie and all of the family. He loves going to Ralph and Janice's and will torment us if he thinks we are going without him. But of all the people he loves, Big Al still seems to be his favorite. Alan stayed with us for a couple of days last week and I took these pictures of Little Al after he found out that Alan was coming. Al was beside himself until Alan got here. Al did not stay with Alan for very long, but he sure has never forgotten him. It is something that just makes me smile.

Embarrassing pictures that parents take of their kids are fun aren't they? If you are the parent, of course. I could not resist catching Abbie "in the act." There is an old photo of me in a similar position, but I had fallen asleep. Over the years that photo has provided much joy for many family members not named Joby. So that is why Abbie gets the same treatment. I know, my photo was not broadcast over the internet, but that is the price you pay for technology, right? By the way, her favorite part of this process is when she comes running out of the bathroom with her underwear around her ankles yelling "all done, all done!"
