HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!!

Bart and Anne have had many adventures, to be sure. But the REAL adventure began 4 years ago...

Jane's First Hair Cut

(well...except for bangs)

I had mixed feelings for Jane's hair. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it was getting slightly unruly causing stress to both Jane and Anne. I didn't want to cut it because I knew as soon as I did, the baby would truly be gone and a little girl would take her place.

Alas, the morning came--THIS morning to be exact. I whipped out the scissors and did the deed. The effect was immediate.

Jane is "Baby Jane" no longer.

In my haste in getting it over with, I forgot to take a BEFORE shot. You'll live without it.

Siblings

These two hoodlums have been off the wall today! Playing, laughing, and TORMENTING each other.

In a rare moment of quiet I came in to find this:

Just sitting there. Charlie said, "I'm holding her, Mom."

I can see that you cute little cherubs.

Happy New Year!

We brought in the new year with St. Anthony, Barbarous Bel and sparklers.
