Wow! What a photo. I would love to have that in a larger poster size.
I love the name--"Mr. Splashy Pants"--heh.
By the by, I love seeing your granddaughter's sweet face on your sidebar. Lovely..
Yeah, a great name. I just ordered some Mr. Splashy Pants buttons, and will give one to each of the granddaughters.
Glad you like the photo. I'll be putting up a new seasonal photo there every month or so, as long as the photos and the seasons hold out.
