I realize that my blog the past few months has consisted of more pictures of our kids than actual insightful insight into missions in Africa. I'll try to meld the two today.
If you haven't noticed, Kenyans don't really have long or straight hair usually. However, whites do. So, when little white babies come out with no hair (or very little of it), our Kenyan friends often ask us why we cut our babies' hair. They assume that since their babies come out with short, tight hair and then it remains similar to that throughout life...then we whites must have babies with long, straight hair like ours as adults. If babies' hair is short, then it must be because we cut it for some cultural reason.
To date, we haven't put a blade to little Claire's head. This is her natural look at 8 months old.
