The Oldest and Youngest

Bryan was carrying Robert around in the sling yesterday so I could have both hands free to decorate his birthday cake. He has mastered the use of the sling lately and can get the baby in all by himself. Something tells me that he will make a good dad some day if his life takes him in that direction.
This picture reminds me of how much Bryan has grown. You'll notice as the kids get older, you won't see quite as many pictures of them on the blog. As the children get older I feel it is rather important to respect their privacy on both a personal and emotional level. Safety concerns also lead to me to leave pictures and information about the older children off the blog at times. I realize some parents believe that as long as their kids are around, they are free to tell the world anything they choose about them but we believe it is important to respect their need for and right to privacy and personal space. So the older ones are around and just as busy as the younger ones, you just may not see them quite as often.

Good picture! Don't worry about what you put on your blog and about whom. You're in charge... not someone else that has different opinions on the exploitation of their children. To each their own but it doesn't mean they need to make you feel bad for not having "enough pictures of all the kids." It's not their place to tell you what to share on your blog.
