Then and Now

With Adam coming home soon, I started looking through some pictures from when he left till today.  I thought you may like to see the changes....

I will begin with the man himself.  Though for me he was perfect before and after, Adam has lost about 25 lbs.  Way to go babe!  Can you see the difference?

Then:

Now:

As for me.  My changes have been purely cosmetic.  I am only happy to report that I haven't really gained weight, which was pretty much the goal. ;)  But back to the changes...hair color and style, and the big one - braces!  Hopefully he will be okay with kissing a metal mouth!

Then:

Now:

Next, Jens.  Jens has grown a good inch or two, and filled out.  He just looks older.  Not to mention the occasional added dose of cool!

Then:

 

Now:

Sam is still Sam, but he has grown a pant size, and looks more grown up.

Then:

Now:

Peter has grown some teeth, some height and some strength.  Though he is still crazy Peter!

Then:

Now:

Tommy has probably changed the least, but he has definitely grown up a bit.  He has learned a few letters of the alphabet with their sounds.  He can sound out some words and writes his name.  He can also make his bed now.

Then:

Now:

Sarah has definitely changed the most dramaticly!  She has grown teeth and hair, learned to walk, run and dance.  She has gone from saying very few strong words to saying really anything she wants to say.

Then:

Now:

Wow!  A lot of changes, huh?  I am happy Adam can be home now and not miss out on any more changes for a while!  Nine more days!!!
