Merry Christmas 2008: Picture and Out Takes
December 16, 2008 | By Jack Yoest
This is this year's Christmas Card from our house to yours. The card may not be as interesting as the out takes.
Or, as The Dude says, the 'ruined pictures.' See more on The Dude's Facebook page.
See
Christmas 2007 on the Huckabee Campaign.
See Christmas 2006.
What's the best reason for a large family? Watching the kids get added over the years. And to watch the Penta-Posse get taller and taller. Like time elapsed photography -- over 20 years.
We once asked Charmaine's old boss, Gary Bauer, about life before and after children. A Look Back. "Before they were born," He says of his kids, "They were always there -- like shadows." Eternity past meeting eternity future.
And like shadows they will be gone, off to college, off to their own families. Soon -- too soon. See What to take from a burning building, or Christmas by the Numbers; 16 Each

Absolutely perfect! Even the "ruined" pictures are great! I hope that Dad & Mom are taking their daily dose of Geritol or Vitameatavegamin b/c they will need the extra energy to keep up with the Penta Posse is growing up so fast. Lovely! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the family that is "for such a time as this". Jo/Texas

Hope you and yours have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
2009 should be a very interesting year. The Chinese of course use the wish that one may live in interesting times as a bit of a curse.
Keep up the good work, Walt

Was that the look Zoolander used or the one he was working on?

Planed Parenthood is caught on video helping girls return to the arms of their statutory rapists. Jesus calls us to protect these innocent victims. Psalms 139. The church must rise up against the abortion community which threatens our daughters. .***.
