My DD is quite the unusual gal, and tougher than a bucket of nails. After the first baby was born the Army did what the Army does and deployed her hubby when baby #1 was only 3 weeks old...SIL was gone for a year to the middle east. She took care of this place by herself then and again when baby #2 came along and hubby got deployed at 4 weeks. We have pictures of her wearing a baby in a sling, toting a toddler behind her and carrying bottles for calves before she went to work for the day, and then coming home to do it all again after work. We have kind of a running bet now on when and for how long SIL will be deployed after this baby gets here :laugh:
Iddee knows my little Baby Beek all too well, he can tell ya ... she's a force to be reckoned with. We are often told it's because we are redheads that we tend to be a bit stubborn....but I bleached mine blonde for years and it made no difference at all :laugh:
Wandering Man:
Redheads! I’m sure that makes a difference. 3Reds is a redhead, and so are our 2 sons. One of our 3 granddaughters is a redhead, too. Having her helped my daughter in law understand the unwanted attention and prejudice you get growing up red.

We do get A LOT of unwanted attention and often negative comments about redheads, and we have no idea what the fuss is about. We chose several years ago to stop trying to tone down the reds with brown or blonde dye and just enjoy our coppers and auburns and strawberry strands. I have no clue why people are so prejudiced (or have such odd ideas) about redheads. But whew....some of those comments from men especially are just so disgusting! Possibly part of where DD developed such great throwing aim?
My sons all have red on the sides of their beards...looks like stripes running down each side of their mouths. I don't remember which one but one of them looked it up and said that is almost always true for men whose mother is a redhead. My oldest boy is cotton top blonde with a red beard, the middle is dark blonde with a red beard, the youngest is dark complected with dark hair light blue eyes and a red beard.
