"Beware of Online Filter Bubbles"

This is worth the 10 minutes. It has changed the way I look at my world -- hopefully for the better.

Bye Bye Curls

The back of Keenan's head was filled with sloppy curls -- just like his dad's. Sometimes they are really cute, and other times the cuteness is replaced by the image of hair that just needs to be cut. So we gave him his first trim today. I forgot to document the "before" of the back of his head (I did not cut anything except the back). But trust me that the only difference between before and after is that now he has shorter hair with no curls. (That's my disclaimer, because his hair line is wonky (like his dad's) and I didn't even try to straighten it out, as I think that would have made it even more wonky.)

Ok, here goes:

There wasn't a lot of hair on the floor, but I promise the before haircut Keenan really looked like he had too much hair on the back of his head.

Naomi sat in on the special occasion, and was quite distraught because I would not let her play with the camera. My solution to the problem? Start taking pictures of her:

(That is peanut butter on her mouth.)

She laid down inside the cupboard, so I didn't rotate the pictures.

This picture seems to prove that she just wanted me to divide my attention a little bit between the little brother and the diva.

And, finally, we started counting her toes and I just had to include it here.

Infatuation

A friend of mine always says how much she adores her kids. I admire that she says it so often. While they are awake, I don't often think of what a joy these little ones can be. But put those kiddos in bed and all I can do is think about how fun they are and how cute they look, and how proud I am for their accomplishments. So I now join the club by saying, I adore my children.

Naomi makes a mama proud -- potty training herself because I didn't dare to do it with all the craziness in our lives at the moment.

Here is Keenan eating a chicken bone. I know, it's a choking hazard, but we just couldn't resist his pleas for meat!

And finally, this is Adara, planking (sort of) on a pipe somewhere in Wyoming.
