Baby and Toddler Karl

This is so you can all enjoy cute Karl and see for yourself whether or not Noah or Max look like him. I am still not sure. They obviously don't look exactly like him ... The italic comments are what Karl's dad wrote with the pictures.

Here is baby Karl on his birthday ( 08-26-1978) with his beautiful mother Janelle.

1979 Spring Karl the Krawler


1979 Fall: Karl the Messy


1980 Fall: Karl der Große


1980 Karl and Adri playing in the wheat. Karl spent many hours every day playing with Adri. As far as I understand, they hardly every fought. Adri was the little mom and Karl happily did what she had in mind. Seems to me like Noah and Max need a big sister like Adri. Too late now ...


1980 Very ready to eat


1981 Adri reading to Karl


1981 Fall: Karl at Sundance. This one reminds me of Noah. We spent a few nights this summer up at Sundance watching Karl race and playing soccer on that very field. Noah was just as excited.


1982 Karl kanning cherries. This is one of his fondest childhood memories. As you can tell, he loved it. Mainly because he got to eat cherries while working. He would not even let his sister Adri have a turn. When she showed up, he told her to "Go practice!" I guess she has always been practicing the piano a lot and is now a wonderful concert pianist.

1982 4th Birthday. We will see how Noah's turns out in a few weeks ...

In some of the younger ones Karl looks more like Noah and Max, but its probably because they are young too. Way cute pictures. How bout you, Sarah?

I don't think max or Noah look like Karl. Their heads are not the same shape at all. They must have your head shape =) but those are cute pictures of Karl. Yeah I agree with Emily where are your pics?

Those are some way cute pictures. How did you get them all? I mean.. did you have to request them from the mother or did Karl give them up gladly? Inquiring minds want to know.
