Yet another good name for a band. I had this great idea, why not start a band called “Missing Dog”. The publicity implications are huge for this: just print up some flyers with “Missing Dog” in large text, and post them all over town. Everyone stops to read these signs.

The Yawning Nephews would need a different publicity strategy, notwithstanding the fact that they probably don’t want to start a band together. They already make a pretty solid cricket team. These photos are from this past Christmas, so you’ll just have to imagine each of them six inches taller. You know how quickly they grow.

We had a grand time over Christmas: both Ned and David did a great job driving the boat we rented one afternoon, and we hacked some coconuts to pieces with a rusty machete. Sebastian was able to practice sitting up. Everyone had a chance to practice opening their mouths really wide. Must be something about having your picture taken that makes people open their mouths really wide. It could not possibly have been an overzealous uncle. “OK … now open your mouth really wide!” No, definitely not that.
