We also searched for some pictures of Laura and her sisters and stumbled upon the information that they'd actually had a brother named Charles jr, but the family called him Freddy. Apparently, I wasn't as up to date on my Ingalls history as I thought I was!
Last, but not least, we stumbled upon this website, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frontier Girl. It's loaded with more information then you could ever imagine about the entire Ingalls clan. There's even video footage of all the homes including Plum Creek.
The boys were really impressed to see so many pictures of Laura and her sisters. They were equally enthralled to see her with her husband, but quite dissapointed to see she and he were a Grandma & Grandpa. They'd desperately hoped to see pictures of her as a little girl (read, from the time period we're reading) and were equally disappointed that the pictures were all in black and white. (But, at least they could still understand the story Uncle D!)
