Yes, Conor has dreadlocks. However, we wash his hair every other day and have from the beginning. No, I'm not crazy about them, but he and his dad love them so I'm trying not to be a control freak.

The children had a great time taking pictures of themselves tonight. By the time I intervened, they were tired and didn't want to do anything serious.

This summer, Anna saved over $300 to buy her own digital camera. She knows all the ins and outs of it. She used some funky filter for these pictures and like I said, I couldn't get them to do anything halfway normal. Oh well--I'm trying to move past trying to convince them that my agenda is the best agenda!
