Full of Curls

Stephen needs a haircut. We have been putting it off for a while and now it has become clear that this boy has the curliest hair in the family. We’re getting pictures now, because the curls will be coming off soon at the barber shop.

Helpers in the yard.

Breaking the Ice

I just realized I hadn’t posted a number of pictures from the early Spring. Here Hannah and Stephen attempt to crush the last few pieces of ice in the yard. They felt this was a big help to daddy – who wasn’t planning to do … Read More

A typical day with Stephen.

I have glasses?

One day after church, Stephen asked if he could wear my glasses. He seemed to get a real kick out of bounding through the house with them on, and didn’t mind posing for a few pictures either. This series really shows our boy’s personality.

Only One Crying

We try to get a picture of the entire family once in a while. On this particular day, all but one of our children was ready to be photographed. It was just after church on a Sunday afternoon and she was hungry! Oh well…five out … Read More

Almost finished with some cereal.

I Want Breakfast

You guessed it; the first words out of Stephen’s mouth every morning usually include breakfast, cereal, banana or just food in general. While he always adds the modifier “please” after being prompted, he is clearly impatient to eat. Here he is enthusiastically finishing up the … Read More

The whole gang just before bed.

See All Four

Just before everyone went to bed, while all were awake and alert, we attempted a shot with the entire quartet. Though Sarah decided she wanted to eat her brother’s arm at some point in the middle, we did manage to get everyone looking “generally” in … Read More

So much for perfect timing!

A Happy Homecoming

As you can see, we tried unsuccessfully to capture a family photo as we left the hospital with Sarah. Elisabeth is caught looking at Sarah, Stephen jumping (I think) and Hannah giving me a hug and thereby pulling my head behind Deborah just at the … Read More
