Happy New Year!

Here in Lawrence...

For those of you who might not keep tabs on the iamspartacus.net web site, I thought I'd point you to some recent photos of our kids. ...After all, what's the point of a family blog if we can't use it to shamelessly pimp photos of our own children? Anyway, turned the living room into a photo studio the other night and got some shots of all the kiddos -- some cooperating, most not. Click on the image below. Oh, and special thanks to Annie -- my awesome studio lighting came compliments of her.

2 people were shot at a Toys-R-Us in Palm Desert, CA

I've trying to figure out what this means about people. Any suggestions?

Pirate Float on the Kaw

Here's a link to a photo in today's Lawrence Journal World of the annual Up A Creek Kid's Pirate Float on the Kaw River this past summer. You will see Andrew, Logann, Kaysia, Jessica and Martin among the little thieves. They had a great time digging for buried treasure (that Shannon and Craig hid) along the way. *Hope this works!
