I don't usually post pictures of myself, but I had a request to see my new hair color. I'm not terribly photogenic. That being said, I'm not looking for compliments. It's just a statement of fact and I'm OK with that. There's nothing wrong with being better looking in person than in pictures. :) It's actually why Quin is in the picture. Despite the fact that his shirt is dirty, he needs a haircut, and his face had some unknown substance on it, he is still pretty cute and I figure people will want to look at him instead of me...
I've never had hair this dark. I think I like it. Andrew had a bit of an adjustment after it was done. He usually doesn't care what I do to my hair, but will admit that he likes it blonde, if he has his say (which, when it comes to my hair, he rarely does). He attributes it to the fact that I was a legitimate blonde when he met me. As I've gotten older and with every passing pregnancy, my hair gets darker and darker. It's just too much work to keep it blonde anymore.
My kids thought it was a little weird at first, until I pointed out that it looked more like Callie now and that made her happy. It also made Leah angry. She has asked me to dye it back to normal and has also asked me to dye hers the same dark color so we can look more alike again. Silly girls. My sister-in-law told me that it makes me look more like my sisters, who all have darker hair. Go figure.
Anyway, here it is. It will probably stay this way for awhile.... probably. :)

My dark hair is turning lighter... if you consider gray lighter. I am kind of shocked at how gray it is right now. I guess that means I will have to start doing something. I am very impressed with your blogging lately... you are a blogging machine!

Yeah, you do look more like your sisters. well I think i've only met siri, but I've seen pictures. It looks great. I hear Siri, mine is going lighter and I'm considering dying it blonde to blend w/ gray roots. I can't believe I'm saying the word GRAY. ugghh!

I loved that HUGE explanation about your hair! That was hilarious. Mine was much lighter in highschool than it is now. Those darn kids have ruined my body and my hair:) Well, I think you look great now matter what your hair color is!!!

Just show Leah a picture of yourself at her age and she can see how blond you were, reassure her that sometime her hair will be just as dark as yours.

You, on the other hand, are stunning. Your hair is pretty, I love it dark.

I think you look beautiful, and yes, Quin is pretty cute. He has the winning personality smile, I see. You, my dear, are totally lovely, with your perfect skin, big eyes, beautiful smile, and silky hair.
