A Year's Growth

So my profile picture was taken almost exactly one year ago (well 11 months ago, really). I find it amazing how much the kids have changed in one year's time. What do you think...

That was then...and this is now

We went out to Rich and Charlene's for dinner. Dave's sister and family were there. The first thing our niece Sheridan said to Carson was "Wow you're tall" and then she said "That means Aunt Heather is the smallest one in her family." So in case you can't tell from the picture, Carson is a good 2 inches taller than me now and almost sees eye to eye with his sister. Amazing that in a year he grew almost 6 inches. No wonder that boy is always hungry!

And Katelyn is looking older, too. I think she is hoping to look older after the drama teacher she didn't get a role in the fall production because she "looked too young". We thought that she was going to be told she "looked to white" for the winter production because they were doing Aladdin; but the cost of Aladdin's copyright was too expensive. They are doing Brigadoon instead. I think she should look just right for that play--she definitely has the right complexion.
