Rugrats (Sorry, no time for much text right now.  More later.)

Greetings to Kathryn Saeko - approximately 10 minutes old.

...and Kaori looks pretty relieved.  (Who can blame her?)

Below, Kate shows a healthy appetite, just like her big sister.

Semi-final round of the International Funny-Looking Award Competition.  I think I've got her beat.

Kaori and Kate saunter home from the hospital under a blizzard of cherry blossom petals.

His royal highness, reviewing the troops.

Peter says, "Is it edible?"

...and Lauren remains pretty darn cute.

Here's a final one of Kate.

Katie says, "Who you callin' funny looking?

The usual suspects - momentarily on good behavior (or at least faking it).

And who does this one think she's fooling?  She may look angelic now, but we know what the future holds.

Like her big sister, the mini-rugrat does enjoy her baths.

His royal highness gets half the couch, and the three of us make due with the rest - seems fair to me.

Update:  July 1, 2001

Well. someone appears to be getting enough to eat....

Meanwhile, big sister contemplates her next rampage.  Note the faint smile that presages disaster.

On the right, Katie looks ready for a job at a teamsters local - right down to the jowls and the disheveled collar.  Would you trust this baby with YOUR pension funds?? Meanwhile, below, she practices her innocent look.  "I was at home asleep, your honor - I swear."

The older syblings.  Note the scabs on Lauren's nose and upper lip from doing a flying face-plant in Jiyugaoka.  Ooops.

Can you say "Proud daddy?"
