Family of Four.....All Red Hair!

My husband and I both have red hair. We weren't quite sure what to expect when we were pregnant with our daughter, but she was born a beautiful strawberry blond. Our second baby proved to be a boy with a darker more carroty red. I love being a family of reds. We sure do spend a lot on sunscreen!!! All of us have blue eyes, too. We all freckle, as well, my husband least of all.

We feel so blessed and wouldn't change a thing about our looks or the coloring of our kids. Being a little rare and different is a true blessing! We should all embrace our differences as blessings from God. Remember, your kid's self-esteem will come from you. I didn't love my looks as a kid. My mom and dad were tan and blond or brunette. Because my husband and I love and accept the way we look, our kids see their red hair and fair complexion as an asset.
