Some of these were already posted, but I wanted to share a handful more. We took our three girls out for their annual hat pictures. We were very very very late. Miserably late I tell you. This is happening each year a little later. This is not good. This defeats our purpose of capturing the pictures one year apart. There is alas another problem, the hat. The hat, you see has been lost for a few years and another hat was substituted. Then the unbelievable happened. Serafina grew out of the hat! When she was 14, she had to really cram her noggin' in there. So I took to taking a few pictures of her holding the hat, not the same affect. The idea was in the beginning to capture them in the hat while it was very big, adult size and show the progression until it fits. So I guess I give up the hat for her now. This is not easy for me to do as I have been working on this project with my kids for 14 years. Josie and Gabi can still fit the hat, so we will continue, but here we are with late, ...

I just got another image ready of the hat picture stream I mentioned in the previous post. This is of our ten year old. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. I want to take some moments and just wrap them up in a present and save them to open later. I guess that's what these pictures are like. Blessings, Gretchen
