New "Birthday" Photos of the Boys!

I try to have the kids' pictures taken every year between their birthdays, but it tends to be closer to N's and further from R & J's. Oh well! At least I am getting around to getting them taken on a semi-regular basis! They were all VERY cooperative--even J, who in general, hates to be told what to do, where to stand, or any other formal instruction! They let him play with a baseball bat (3 of them, actually) and some gloves and it kept him entertained. He is quite focused on baseball these days, and can hit a ball that is pitched to him. He has a bat in his hand at all times--quite a challenging activity for me at times!

I have decided to refer to the children as (in age order) 1. The Surfer 2. The Camera Ham 3. The Baseball Baby (he was going to be "The Hooligan" but I am trying to avoid any negative self-fulfilling prophecies!) Check out these photos and see if you think the names are appropriate!

I love seeing pictures of your boys. I miss you all so much! N's hair seems to be getting darker as he gets older. I just LOVE that first picture. That expression on J's face reminds me of the baby I remember from Vilseck. Such handsome little boys!

N's hair IS darker, but the pictures make it look darker than it really is. It is more of a golden brown now instead of brownish blond. R asked why N's hair was the wrong color in the pictures! He said "It's supposed to look like this!" and held up a piece of his hair!
