Marianne's PONYTAIL!

Dear World,
(I'm sorry, I can't help myself addressing these posts like letters...indulge me. Just a little bit longer.)
Marianne's hair can officially make a ponytail. Oh happy day! This means I don't have to pretend that I like headbands for her anymore (because for some reason I don't). This also means that while I'm on the stand leading the music and Rus is holding her, somehow her ponytail will wind up in his mouth and then take on the appearance of half of a curly stiff mustache. It's still cute, though!
See! This is how the "Ponytail Photo Shoot" went. (Pre-Rus spit.) And yes, I knew the blanket had a yellow stain when I used it. I even knew Marianne was in front of it. I think I just hoped it wouldn't show up. Lesson learned.
Mommy! I want that camera!

I really want that camera strap!

 Tee-he-he, Daddy just zerbered me!

 Then of course Bekah jumped in. She's always a happy extra in any photo shoot.

 Why not bring in the whole family. Beau - "lean in" does not mean "plaster yourself to Bekah."

 Need a close up? It's got a nice curl, huh. Thank you Rus.
