Pictures? We've Got Pictures! We figured, what the heck. We might as well make some photos available here online. To see the full-size images, just click on the thumbnails below. Enjoy! 2007             | 2007 | From 2007, all we have are a few pictures of Cassandra, Deidre and me from the "It Takes a Rainbow Village" concert performed by the River City Mixed Chorus (with the assistance of a youth chorus) in June, and Carl's school picture from September, showing just how much his hair has grown recently. (At this point, he and I both have long hair, and all the women in the family have short hair, for whatever difference it makes.) 2006               | 2006 | Just after the end of the '05-'06 school year, I finally decided to dig out the digital camera and take a few pictures with which to update the gallery. So here's what the kids looked like then. The picture of Joy and me is also from June; I was atypically devoid of facial hair at the time. From September are the two best pictures from our attempt to get a decent up-to-date family photo; unfortunately, in the first the resolution is too low (as our photographer wasn't standing close enough), and in the second, Cassandra and Carl are both obviously bored. (You really wouldn't want to see the other pictures from the set.) And finally, from our trip to New York City in November, is a picture of the kids in front of the Stonewall, famed site of the '69 riots that sparked the modern GLBT civil rights movement. 2004 - 2005             | 2004 | 2005 | First, we have the picture of the family that appeared in the Omaha World-Herald in August of 2004. Then, "before" and "after" pictures of Cassandra, who decided to cut her hair short just before school started, but later decided to grow it long again. (And then, at the end of the '06-'07 school year, she got it cut short again.) Following those, we have the kids' school pictures from their last year in the Catholic school system. (It should be noted that these pictures were already out of date, so to speak, within a month, as both Cassandra and Carl started wearing glasses.) We then have a picture of Carl with his summer 2005 haircut, a mohawk, and a picture from June of 2005 of us carrying the PFLAG banner in Omaha's Pride Parade. 2000 - 2003             | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | We start here with a picture from the fall of 2000 of Deirdre (with family friend Elizabeth Norton), showing off the black eye that earned her the nickname "Mouse." Following that are our 2001 family photos. Yes, I was bald; I had decided to shave my head in June, and Joy and I both liked the look. (I finally stopped shaving and let my hair grow back early in 2006.) Then comes an amazingly well timed picture of Cassandra's first board break (July 29, 2002). Finally, we have our last "formal" annual photo, from 2002, and the kids' school photos from the fall of 2003. 1996 - 1999             | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | The first picture here is from our annual Easter visit to Nashville in 1996, and features Darryl's parents, Donald and Diana Burgdorf. The other pictures are from our next four annual Christmas family photo shoots. The 1997 family portrait, of course, is the first to feature Deirdre, who at the time the picture was taken was about seven months old. 1992 - 1995           | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | The first picture is from our wedding (June 12, 1992). The second is from our first "formal" family photo shoot, just a month after Cassandra's birth. The third is of Cassandra (age five months) with her "nana," Joy's mother, Anne Mullen. And finally, we have a Christmas family portrait from 1995, featuring the two week-old Carl.
