Halloween Pictures

Here, my baby sister Jessica demonstrates the importance, which can never be overemphasized, of well-thought-out accessorizing.

This costume is so perfect for him. All the guys in my dad's family are definitely mild-mannered, easygoing and have a great sense of humor; but they're also very strong, principled, steady, and noble. So what could be more fitting than an exploration of the Clark Kent-Superman dichotomy? Not only is it profound and thoughtful, you also don't have to muck about with the cape.

While we're posting pictures, look! My bromeliad is blooming!
