Beautiful! I love the hair SO much (as with all your kids!)
congrats to Dietrich too! Wrestling is Max and Jake's favorite sport at the moment. We went to a match of some kids at church and they have been into it ever since. Tell Dietrich he scored huge "looked up to" points when I showed them the pictures!
Get them into a wrestling program when they're six or so. It is a GREAT sports. I don't really buy the "sports build character" line for most sports these days, but the culture of wrestling is incredible. A kid threw his headgear after losing the other day and the ref (this is typical) made hiim pick it up, come back, and shake his opponent's hand. You can also RARELY whine your way out of personal responsibility for losing. I've loved it. I wish I would have wrestled.
Charis is adorable. It's so hard to find the time to take "artsy" pictures when you have other kids and so much going on in life. I can't wait to see them when you do.
The more I learn about wrestling, the more my aversion to it lessens. I never thought I'd say that, but I'm not sure I WANT my kids to play basketball. It is full of attitude and kids who play think they're so "cool." Cool sure isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm really hoping all my kids are nerds. I'm trying to encourage that.
Here's another small slide show. I still haven't gotten any time to do a little more artistic photography, but that's coming.
