Nobody is quite sure why the "Homeless Mike" jumped in the picture. But they are grateful that he didn't eat the baby!

Jess said...

I love that the gross beard is resting gently on the baby's head.

Beard attack!!

harvey k-tel said...

Get thee to the barn, Gideon and fetch up some goat milk so that we may break our fast.

Colleen said...

Help! My daddy's beard is attacking my head!

mark jarvis said...

Why do I have this feeling the father has said "mankind did not evolve to live in houses!" and the family lives(on purpose) "off the grid"?

The dad's beard is quite an eye-catcher. But what's amusing is how it's starting to hide Junior.

Deb said...

I'm pretty sure at least one of the persons depicted in this photograph is named Jebediah.

Hilarious and superb! Mister Ziegler has had a lot of freedom to express his masculinity.. But they all do seem to be happy together.

Beard.

Becca said...

Slowly, the beard will eat the baby's head.

After ripping the 'County Inmate #24601' patch off his shirt, Jed was able to slip incognito into the Smith Family photo and no one was the wiser.

Oh, you people watch too much TV. They're probably just Mennonites, or something.

I hope.

steely said...

Does he have another kid hiding in that beard? Maybe Billy Jr. is camera shy.

Zane said...

Excellent. I was immediately reminded of this t-shirt design. I think the father needs one: http://www.topatoco.com/graphics/00000001/qw-beards-big.gif

They don't look like any Mennonites I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. I'd put my dollar on a freaky home-schooled conservative cult where you breed a lot and are patriarchal and grow your own food and don't play cards or dance or associate with heathens except to pass out tracts at the bus stop.

Brenda said...

Please tell me that man has shaved his beard since this picture was taken...

Algarys. said...

Wow, the baby doesn't fit in, he is too blond compared to his siblings... Oo
And that's why the beard comes to the rescue ! Join the dark side \o\ /o/

Grizzly Adams did have a beard!

beigebanana said...

That beard entitles you to more that one wife!

LaughingKatie said...

Have to agree that this family definitely looks like one that rejects society, builds its own little community by having massive number of babies and then all kill themselves with koolaid.

Um. Yeah. Maybe I've watched too much about the Dugger family.

I think that beard would benefit from a nice, bright ribbon tied around the middle.

shark said...

stuff like this is why i'm glad i'm a photographer, and that i have many photog friends

Michelle said...

that is one good lookin' family!

Bob Bobs said...

Exactly how far to your right should you look in order to avoid looking at the camera?

But they do look happy.

Toby Ziegler from West Wing! He finally had a family and grew a proper beard! Good for him.

My guess is that his pubes have completely overtaken his cockandballs.

It's like he's a part time pirate!

The poor girl's arms grew in the wrong direction.

Is he aware there is a baby growing out of his beard?

JPR said...

we should see the evolution of that beard!

andrea said...

two more weeks of beard-growing and the baby on the left will totally disappear....
