Can you see them now?

Hey all, sorry about the picture glitch. Apparently something went wrong with yesterday's post and the pictures did not appear. Here is the fixed post with also some editing done. Why didn't someone tell me I used the phrase "extended family" about 50 times? It's funny how sometimes I'll go back and re-read what I wrote and change it. I guess it doesn't mean much when I do that because chances are those who read my blog on a regular basis have already read it and won't re-read it (like I do). Am I alone in this quirky behavior?
