It's Flashback Friday!

If you've seen my oldest son, Kyler lately, you know that as he progresses through puberty and becomes a young man, his hair just gets bigger and bigger.

The boy has THICK, curly, amazing hair. And it's become quite the topic of conversation in our circle.

Sometimes I wonder where he gets all that hair. I have thick hair, but it's stick straight. And it lies nicely next to my head.

Kyler's hair is huge. If he would let me style it, I'd bet I could get it to be even bigger. But of course I'm not allowed to touch it.

And then there's Ethan. My baby. Ouch. This boy's got some hair too, let me tell you. Wiry, thick, brillo pad hair.

If it gets longer than about an inch, it sticks out in all directions, and no product I've ever found will make it lie flat.

My boys have weird hair. That's all there is to it.

Sometimes I wonder where it came from.

But then, I'll stumble across this picture.

Mystery solved.

    Wow, what a way to wake up. He needs his own sitcom looking THAT happy and round headed.

  2. You know, after the shock of the hair, all I saw was the huge, authentic smile. He has that familiar twinkle in his eyes. Gosh, I like that guy you married.
    It makes me miss you guys.

  3. He kind of looks like he could have been a scene double for that Todd Bridges guy back in the day (just looks, not personality or any character qualities, k?)

Somebody got a new toy...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
