The two faces of Catherine

Catherine is our second child, by 27 minutes. As a baby she was sweet and quiet. She willingly went with anyone who held out their arms to her.

Now, Catherine is affectionate, attentive and loyal. She is easy-going and stays close when we're out on an adventure in the great big world. The coolest thing about Catherine is that she believes in magic. She loves the Disney princesses, especially Cinderella. When we took the kids to Disney World in Nov. 2007, Catherine was overwhelmed by emotion when she met Cinderella. It brought tears to my eyes. She is the same way with her faith in God. It is absolute and pure.


Then there's the other face of Catherine. We call it her 'angry teenager' face. This is the face she makes when she feels wronged...right before she starts spouting off how she hates us, this house, everything...right before she's marched to her room to cool down.


We love both of Catherine's faces...although not always at the time she makes them!

She sounds quite similar to my #3.

oh my goodness..that second picture is kinda scary! If they ever need a possessed kid for a scary movie, that picture would get her the role! ALthough, if I catch Laurel at a bad moment she probably would give her a run for her money!

Angry Catherine reminds me more of Kurt Cobain or Eddie Vedder --- choose your favorite early 90's Grunge lead singer...

Unnecessarily rough is probably closer to naturally boyish although the girls can be rough too at times. Until furniture gets broken, pets run screaming and howling, or stitches are necessary, the boys are usually just being boys!
