Handsome

Jacob has literally not had a new pair of glasses in almost twenty years.  And that number is not an exaggeration. If you could see the pair of glasses he will wear in the middle of the night in case of an emergency, you would smile. A lot. The first time Annie saw him (just about a year ago or so), she asked him why he was wearing that pair of "gigantic glasses." (I honestly just cracked up writing that sentence. It makes me laugh like a goof every time I think about it.)

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I finally convinced my darling husband that a new pair of glasses, that he could actually wear in public, was a good idea. And boy howdy does he look handsome in them.

He wore them to church on Sunday and received many a compliment. (Maybe he should wear his old ones this coming Sunday and compare the number of compliments.)

That night, Matt (who almost always just wears his glasses at school) put his on, just to be like his dad.  Which is why I grabbed the above photo. Pretty cute, yes?

(I would have included Campbell in the photo, as he technically has glasses, but first, he was busy.  And second, none of us remember the last time he wore his glasses. He doesn't need them much, which means he doesn't wear them at all.)

So...yeah for not giving up on pestering Jacob into getting glasses. And yeah for so many handsome boys at our house.  Glasses or no glasses, they are incredibly darling.
