Align start of paragraph and images

To give some context, I am working with a fairly big document, that contains some concatenated outputs from chained curl requests to a forum-like webpage, formatted afterwards with a bunch of regular expressions (it is as bad as it sounds). Thing is, the amount of text is so big that going through all paragraphs and modifying them one by one seems like a never-ending task.



With that in mind, the appearance of my output would be something like:



(...)
begin{wrapfigure}[9]{l}{1in}
centering
includegraphics[width=1in]{my_image_1}
caption*{a caption}
end{wrapfigure}

This is some text.par

begin{wrapfigure}[9]{l}{1in}
centering
includegraphics[width=1in]{my_image_2}
caption*{another caption}
end{wrapfigure}

This is another text.par
And this time there are two paragraphs!par
(...)


That, times infinity.



So, the idea is that the first paragraph for each "block" appears aligned to the picture, that is, both start at the same line. This happens whenever the text is big enough to go over the figure height, but not when it is the other way around (text starts when the previous one ended, but picture needs to go down to avoid clashing with the previous one, so you got something like:



=======|  This is some text.
First |
Picture| This is another text. <==== This should not go here
=======|
And this time there are two paragraphs!
=======| <==== It should appear here
Second |
Picture|
=======|


Is there a way to achieve this without adding line breaks manually for each of the blocks?



Thanks in advance!



PS: I guess there is a case to be made for tables here. Not really that familiar with Latex yet, but having a two cell table for each "block", with left cell containing the picture and right cell containing the text, and invisible borders, would probably achieve what I want. Problem there would be that large texts would not wrap the image, which is a desired effect...
