Photos of the two kids.

I feel like the act of collecting photos of your multiple children is a kind of parenting Rubicon. But I guess we actually crossed the bridge itself a long time ago and this is just the inevitable result.

Oh well.

Here are a few bonus pics to round it out.




And the ice-cream store in town has reopened, which of course means: Chocolate-Face!

Sorry that the videos were down for a bit. It was a "Blogger"-wide problem for which I finally found a solution. I've fixed a few. If there are older ones that are broken that you'd like to see again, let me know. We are still waiting to be online in the new apartment, so we're a bit online-challenged at the moment.

Anyway, we had a lovely time in Glasgow, Scotland. We gave a successful dual-lecture at the University of Glasgow followed by a day off, which we happily made the best of. By my calculation, this was our first "get-away weekend" since 2005. Sam, meanwhile enjoyed his time at Oma & Opa's with the rest of the family.

Here are a few photos, beginning with the downtown street where our little B&B was camped.
