If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

JZ, she's so big! She's graduated to a completely new level of child since the last pics I saw - no more toddler, total pre-schooler.

Huh, unexpected signs of renewed interest from the football player I turned out this spring. I may actually get a toaster out of this.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Matt, I'm pretty sure that for a football player, you get a toaster oven.
