The Story Behind Kaleb's Christmas Picture:

Christmas 2004 was our first attempt to get some dress up pictures of the kids. It was so stressful. Kathryn, Kenneth and Kaleb were absolutely incapable of sitting still. Photo after photo was shot. In each one, someone had their eyes closed or crossed, fingers would shoot into noses, someone would be looking at the other. So much for the angelic poses. I finally gave up and decided that we would just shake the sillies out. This was my request for an angry face. Michael and I laugh at this photo everytime we see it. You may notice that Kaleb has a faint bruise in the center of his forehead. That came from an extreme potty training incident. He finished his "business" and was leaning forward to pull his pants up. On the way down, he smacked his head on the edge of the toilet bowl. Direct hit. I was laughing so hard, I could barely help him and surely couldn't kiss his head until it was disinfected.
