A Texas judge's gag order on witnesses in Andrea Yates' capital murder trial did not stop Yates' husband, Russell, from creating a Web site dedicated to the couple's five slain children — Noah, John, Paul, Luke and Mary.

But Web surfers be forewarned. The images found at yateskids.org are disturbing.

There's nothing grotesque about the images themselves. No photos exist, thankfully, of Andrea Yates holding the heads of each of her children below the waterline in the family's bathtub on June 20.

What is disturbing about the photos on Yates' Web site is that they could be photos chronicling milestones in any American family. The images give no clues to the torment that Andrea Yates must have gone through before she methodically killed her children one by one and then calmly called police and her husband.

Visitors to yateskids.org are first greeted with a simple explanation by Russell Yates, a NASA engineer who is sticking by his wife during her ongoing trial in Houston.

"The purpose of this web site is to honor the memory of our children, Noah, John, Paul, Luke, and Mary, who died tragically on June 20, 2001. I'd like this to be a place that anyone can go to 'visit' the children," Russell Yates wrote when the site was launched in November.

The site, set against a plain white background, is broken up into seven sections: one for each child, family photos and other information. The section labeled "other" includes a transcript of the children's funeral and a photo of their joint grave marker.

Noah, 7, was the couple's first-born child. Russell Yates told mourners at the funeral that Noah was independent, preferring to play alone or work on drawings and crafts for hours at a time. He particularly enjoyed drawing rainbows and painted more than 100, the father estimated. Noah's photo gallery includes one shot of him as a baby resting over Andrea Yates' shoulder. The section also includes 17 of Noah's drawings.

John, 5, was an outgoing, very playful child who enjoyed trucks, his father remembered. His photo section includes pictures of John wearing a firefighter hat, playing with his brothers and getting ready to blow out the candles of his birthday cake.

Paul, 3, was the best-behaved of the Yates children and got along equally well with his brothers and sister, Russell Yates recalled at the funeral. He told mourners that Paul only had to be told things once and he did them, offering as an example Paul's successful potty training at a relatively young age. In the photo section devoted to Paul, the child is seen wearing helmets and other accessories.

Luke, 2, knew what he wanted and went for it, according to his father. Russell Yates referred to his fourth-born child as a "little bulldozer," telling mourners that his determined toddler never let anyone or anything get in his way.

Mary, 6 months, came as a surprise to Russell and Andrea Yates. Based on her prenatal heart rate and other factors, the couple assumed they were having another boy, Russell Yates told mourners. After she was born, a likeness to Paul was readily apparent.

In addition to photos and drawings by the older children, the Web site has home movies of the children. Andrea Yates can be heard in some of them, including one of Mary playing with a toy piano.

The site does make many references to Andrea Yates or her current trial, but Russell Yates included an address for a legal defense fund and a copy of the judge's gag order. He did not respond to an e-mail message requesting an interview about the Web site he dedicated to his children.

According to a counter on the homepage, more than 210,000 people have visited yateskids.org since November.

Andrea Yates' trial is expected to last four to six weeks. She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Depending on the verdict, she faces time in a mental hospital, Texas prison or death row.
