Pierce kid pictures: Sean, Rusty and Sally

I talk about my kids a lot but I'm not much for photographs. A few days ago, though, Dessie got a hankerin' for a new round of family photos. So here are pictures of each of my kids (spread across several posts -- each of which has this exact same opening paragaph -- due to Blogger's five-photos-per-post limit).

Sean

I like both this picture...



...and this one as well. (The boy has the chutzpah to have gotten as tall as I am, I might add.)



Rusty (short for "Rustém," a Farsee -- i.e., Iranian -- name given to him by his Kazakh birth mother)

Is this an infectious grin or what?



Alas, we didn't get many pictures of Rusty this day, probably because he was running around playing with Kegan and trying (unsuccessfuly, fortunately for his backside's comfort) to figure out an excuse to fall into the water.

Sally (short for "Saltanát," which is Kazakh for, roughly, "holiday" or "fiesta," making Sally the only one of our five "Kazakh" kids actually to have a gen-u-wine Kazakh name)

Finally, here's my Sally, who seems awfully serious in this one for some reason.



And there you...what about the parents, you say? Well, Dessie pretty much stayed behind the camera rather than in front of it. And you pretty much don't want to intrude my picture in with all these good-lookin' kids...

Oh, fine, if you insist. Here you go:

The Sarah Jessica Parker thing...oh, don't ask.
