…many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it.

The Shack, William P. Young, p. 155

Last week Mari and Maika got their hair braided. They wore the braids to school for a couple of days, and then it was time to take them out. The result: big, curly hair. Having been through this before, I naturally grabbed the camera. Maika’s braids came out in the afternoon, so I put her in a patch of sunlight in the tatami room. Mari’s came out at night. I had her stand on the couch near a bright fluorescent lamp hoping for the best. (Mari’s photos look wonderful on their own, but seeing the photos side-by-side the sunlight clearly wins.)

Amazing how they grow up!
