Thanks, Auntie Susan and Uncle Brad for great times at your house!  We love you and miss you!  MWAH!

Baby Chocolate…

When we first met Miss K back in Sept 2009, I kept telling people at home who had a Russian connection “she looks like the baby on the chocolate bar.”  She did, too! 

A few weeks ago, a dear friend of ours who is a professional photographer took Miss K’s first “real” pictures (yes, I know, after WAY too long!)  A few of the pictures she took at the end were of Miss K in a similar scarf.  They may look like this was an easy process, but this was a kiddo who was about done with having her picture taken and was not at all about having a scarf on her head.  Christina was a trooper, though, and so good with her.  Here are some of the proofs with the scarf:

yep, that’s my arm you can see in the background!  Ooops!

So now…..drum roll….with thanks to my dear wife-in-law, Laurel, here are the two pictures side by side:

I know that there are some differences—especially with her bangs now as long as they are, but I thought the comparison was too good not to show it. 

Will try to post the rest of the photo session soon---and to actually post something that isn’t just pictures.    Love to all of you!
