Of course if you look a few pictures further in ohchicken’s photostream, you’ll see that the spaghetti’s appeal was time-limited. Go check it out. She writes about her family and her life at  we are fambly. where you’ll find more Jude! Jude! Jude! with and without spaghetti.

Now to the new  or updated listings news: LOVE IS LOVE has both moved to a new blog, and become a combined project of both gals, Bebebaba and Bebemama.  Perhaps an even more thrilling move was from TTC to Expecting.

Shrike & Whozat went from Expecting to Babies!  About five months ago in real life, and just recently at LesbianFamily.org. Congrats, and happy recent five month birthday to Peeper!  Yowza what a doozy of a month she just had.  And her mamas.  

Mother Issues, has recently listed in Foster and Interracial Families. Welcome to Lee and Thorn, who describe themselves as “at the very beginning of our journey to become mothers via special needs adoption.”

New to the TTC listings is metal stork , written by two nomadic gals who will “continue their nomadic ways forever and are looking forward to a gypsy baby to make their travels that much more interesting.”

And Robin, blogging at Here’s What I Don’t Get, just proposed we start up a page for separated/co-parenting blogs.  Good point.  We’ll put that in the LesFam editorial group hopper, and meanwhile — while we wait for a revised or new page for her blog — at least we’ll get started with a nod here.  When you’re there visiting her, congratulate her on polishing off an entire month of a post every day, as part of National Blog Posting Month. Wheew!

Ah! And one more thing!  I just wandered around a bit, as one tends to do online, and from Shrike & Whozat checked in on Vee and Jay and what should I discover but that they went and  had their baby!  So! First, many enthusiastic congratulations to them, and second, they can now be found NOT in TTC, where they were, or Expecting, where they could well have been for the previous 9 months, but Babies!

This photo, entitled “beach,” is from kristyanddonna87′s Flickr photo stream. It’s from their wedding, and there are a bunch of wonderful other pictures there. Go take a peek, and wish them well.

This picture, “Top of the Rock. Date Night!” was submitted by longtime LesbianFamily.org lister gal Shelli, who writes about her beautiful NYC family at Hydrangeas are Pretty. A new baby brother has just joined the family, and big sister Malka is “smitten”! Go on over and give ‘em all congratulations.

If you photograph your family and would like to share those images (to the whole entire world wide web!), consider joining up with the LesbianFamily.org Flickr group! Photos set to “public” and with the “blog this” option enabled are among those we can post here. We’d love to plug your blog, and share a picture of your family!

In New Listings news, Trying again, Story of a Lesbian Family in the Making now titled Serendipitously yours  has been added to the TTC list. Welcome!

And thanks for checking in.

[And keep holding your breath for a seasonal update of new blogs here. It's been a long wait, but I continue to eyeball the item on my To Do list make progress on the task, incremental though it may be. Thank you for waiting, those of you who've long ago submitted a blog to list! Meanwhile, join up with the Flickr group and we can feature your photos here!]

How can you not love these expressions?

Doesn’t this picture make you miss summer? And want to take a beach vacation right now? We’re in drought hell, but it’s gray and foggy here, and I seriously wish I were whereever the Round family was:

Happy National Coming Out Day!

I love the energy and exuberance of this image.

UPDATE: Check out the Great Virtual Breast Fest in support of nursing moms, at the League of Maternal Justice. Tomorrow, 10/10, at 10am, they are having a virtual nurse-a-thon, and they also have a cool photo montage up at YouTube.

In recognition of Facebook’s poor decision that breastfeeding pictures are obscene, that’s the subject of today’s Photo of the Week:

Can you say “Happy Family”???

I knew you could!

How cute is this?

By the way, some of you who were early regular contributors to the Family Album are still putting your fabulous pictures on Flickr, but not adding them to the LesbianFamily.org set. Come back! We miss you!
