So you asked for "girly" pictures...

I hope you can forgive me for not posting any captions, but I have to get to bed, and I put up as many pictures of the girls as I could. I'll try to put some more up tomorrow evening. I made sure to save the best for last.

OK, one caption...

Emerson and Anna--their first kiss. He didn't even ask us! Can you believe the nerve of this kid!?

Gabe's First Real Haircut and Third Birthday

As you probably know, Gabe has had the mop-top look going for a few years now. However, one day he started asking for a hair cut like mine (Dad's). We tried to dissuade him from it, but one day, unbeknownst to us, he took his mom's clippers and cut some of the hair off from the top of his head. We didn't know he did it, and one day we asked him why there were a few strands sticking up. He told us what he did, explaining that he wanted to have a haircut like Matt's and Dad's. So we gave in, and here's the final result.

Here it is in progress, with the hair master doing what she does best...

On the side, not only does Kathryn do awesome haircuts, but she makes amazing birthday cakes for the kids. Here's an example. (This one has a special fondant frosting which is a pain to make but looks very cool.)
