My neighbor, Renata, took some pictures of Clara Jean over the weekend. We had originally planned to take a portrait of the whole family, but we had to postpone. Last week Millie cut a chunk out of her bangs. So far, all the children who are capable of using scissors have cut their own hair. Grace did it in Virginia when she was about three. She snipped pieces on the side of her head really short. Jack has done it more than once. I remember he picked up a little pair of manicure scissors in the bathroom at his great-great grandmother's house in Texas. That was in March of 2007, so he was 3 1/2 years old then. It wasn't the first time because I remember thinking then that he knew better!


So later this summer we hope to have portraits done of the entire family. For now, here's Clara Jean.
