Introducing Charlie Axel Woods!

The picture with the dogs is so lovely. Congrats to the Woods!

- Shi on February 18th, 2009

Good god, is there a more gorgeous family! These pictures take my breath away…I was definitely looking forward to seeing big sis as I was seeing Charlie–Charlie is GORGEOUS…my goodness…and Sam…how freakin cute is that grin with those piggies! An absolutely STUNNING family…and both of them are a great looking mix of mom and dad…I can’t say enough about them…haha LOVE the pics!

- Megan on February 18th, 2009

I looked at all the pics on golf.com, and they are beautiful! Charlie is so cute!! And I can’t get over how big Sam has gotten since the last pic we’ve seen of her.

- CTBmom on February 18th, 2009

Oh my gosh, little Charlie is sooo cute and my goodness, look how much Sam has grown. She’s so so pretty.

- Tammy on February 18th, 2009

The children are beautiful but the boy has lighter skin than his sister and looks more like his mom. Wonderful picture of the family and their dog.

- Anne on February 18th, 2009

Charlie is beautiful and the whole family is beautiful!

- Mari on February 18th, 2009

Absolutely precious. Could those babies be any more beautiful? I love the chocolate brown and blues together!! Best wishes to the Woods family!!

- Bettina on February 18th, 2009

- annie on February 18th, 2009

What a beautiful addition to their wonderful family!

- HeatherR on February 18th, 2009

Both kids are gorgeous! I’m glad to see a picture of Sam, we haven’t seen one in a while. She’s adorable and getting so big! Congrats to the beautiful family!

- Kelsey on February 18th, 2009

When did Sam get so big!? It seems like only yesterday she was born! Charlie is adorable. That picture of Sam kissing him is beyond precious.

- Nausicaa on February 18th, 2009

Oh my goodness, what a cute family – they look over the moon and rightly so! Sam is adorable and the little boy, well he is perfect… congratulations to them all x

- Annie Porter on February 18th, 2009

Sam and Charlie are absolutely gorgeous. Sam has the cutest cheeky look on the family pic, and the picture of Sam kissing Charlie is a heart-melter!

- Aelys on February 18th, 2009

breathtaking!

- marla on February 18th, 2009

Charlie’s got his daddy’s nose! These are adorable.

- Emily on February 18th, 2009

Such a beautiful family. Charlie is precious. And Sam and her little brother, so very sweet. Beyond it!

I so love these portraits. They’re gorgeous. The Family Woods!

- Jen1 on February 18th, 2009

OMG!! Sam looks exactly like my niece Emily! I am in shock!! lol

this family is so cute and they look so happy!! God Bless them!

- XOXO on February 18th, 2009

He looks just like his sister in the first picture. Such good genes!

- Susan on February 18th, 2009

Wow!! Amazing family pic. Charlie has much lighter skin than Sam had as a newborn. The dogs are adorable.

- Emma on February 18th, 2009

LOVE the one of Sam and Charlie! Sam is really quite the perfect combination of her parents. She has her mother’s smile–just adorable!

- bungalowbliss on February 18th, 2009

What a gorgeous family! Sam has gotten so big!

- G on February 18th, 2009

Beutiful family photos. Charlie is adorable.
Sam has her Mama’s nose!

- Candy on February 18th, 2009

So precious! What a good looking family.

- Y on February 18th, 2009

Charlie is so precious. I too thought Charlie looked lighter than Sam and googled her reveal photos and was right. Congrats to Tiger and Elin, Tiger looks so proud of his gorgeous family.

- Ashley on February 18th, 2009

Thanks for these CBB. I didn’t expect to see the new baby yet and its quite a treat to see the entire family. Lovely family, beautiful children. Congratulations to Tiger and Elin.

- Loren on February 18th, 2009

Wow those pictures are just beautiful even with the one picture of Sam kissing her new brother i could tell she is proud and even their dogs are proud of Tiger and His wife lol

- Crystle on February 18th, 2009

Charlie is very cute! I also love Sam’s little bangs!

- brooklyn on February 18th, 2009

Aw, he’s so new! Sam has gotten so big! Sam definitely looks like her dad, and Charlie seems to look more like his mom. Adorable family.

- Mia on February 18th, 2009

In response to the skin-pigment comments–in my experience (I have a niece & nephew who are bi-racial), many bi-racial children don’t get their ‘coloring’ right away. So Charlie could end up staying relatively fair-skinned or could be darker than his sister.

- Jennifer on February 18th, 2009

I haven’t seen pictures of Sam in awhile but she was a gorgeous baby and now a gorgeous little girl. What a great family picture. I’m sure Charlie will be just as adorable as his big sis!

- megan on February 18th, 2009

Best Wishes to this family! New additions are so special, and this little baby, Charlie is adorable. Sam is HUGE! She looks a lot like her mommy, same mouth.

- jazzie on February 18th, 2009

First, everyone in that family is so good looking (including the dogs)! And second, in that picture of Sam kissing Charlie…exactly where can I go to get eyelashes as long as hers?!

- Lauren on February 18th, 2009

That photo of the family with their dogs kissing them is so precious! I absolutely love the look on Sam’s face – she is a doll!

- ErykaWynter on February 18th, 2009

And the reason that it matters that Charlie is lighter that Sam is WHAT exactly???

People feel the need to mention it for WHAT purpose?

Tiger and Elin have two beautiful, healthy & happy children, that is what is important.

It is so tiresome, that whenever some children are shown on this site, it becomes an avenue for people to mention their color, their shade, the lightness or darkness of their skin tone.

Geesh – it’s 2009 already! This can’t be the first time you all have seen people of color. Get over it already.

- Bea on February 18th, 2009

Sam is totally adorable with big girl haircut! Last pic I saw of her she still had short baby hair!
Gorgeous family and how lovely of them to share so many pics so soon after his birth!

- Christine on February 18th, 2009

What a precious baby! And Sam is just beautiful. But, Elin and Tiger are gorgeous, so you can see why Sam and Charlie are, too. They are such a lovely family. The picture with the dogs is just breathtaking. Is there anything more attractive in a man than watching him lovingly hold a baby or child? Awwww!

- SouthernBelle on February 18th, 2009

Those children are exquisite.

- Georgie on February 18th, 2009

A beautiful tri-cultural family! Sam is so big and looks like her grandma. So cute!!!! I have a tri-cultural family, so I’m a bit partial.

- AWWWW! on February 18th, 2009

What a lovely family. These children are so beautiful. The daughter looks a lot like Vanessa Minillo. While the son looks like European Royalty. Maybe Jake Gyleenhall.

Great pics. Thanks Tiger for giving us a little peak. It may be 18 months before we see more pics, if history is any guide. But, you have always delighted us in your early release photo approach.

- BeckyPeabody on February 18th, 2009

These pics are sooooo great!!! What a nice looking family!!!

- Leslie on February 18th, 2009

“Geesh – it’s 2009 already! This can’t be the first time you all have seen people of color. Get over it already.”

Some people like stuff like that. NO ONE IS BEING RACIST, OR WHATEVER YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE IT OUT AS. Genetics are the coolest thing. I love seeing what “coloring” a baby will have, no matter WHAT race they are. I don’t see why you’re raising a fuss over people pointing out that he is lighter than Sam. It’s an observation. So while people are “getting over it,” I would suggest you take your own advice. This is why we still have racial issues in this world today because people just assume…. with negative thoughts.

- Allie on February 18th, 2009

The photos are gorgeous…what a beautiful family! Charlie is a cutie, and Sam is such a doll! The photo of her kissing her baby brother is just precious.

- Jennifer on February 18th, 2009

And what is wrong with mentioning colour, Bea? You seem over sensitive about it when there is nothing to be sensitive about.
Mentioning the children are different shades is not racist, so don’t make it out to be.

They are gorgeous children, Sam has really become a little girl, instead of a baby!

- Anna on February 18th, 2009

I agree, what’s the point of pointing out the grade of someone’s skin. What is the point? And no, I don’t think the grade of someone’s skin is pointed out if a baby is white. I do think it comes from a racist place. Quietly. Too many in society get hung up on many grades of hair and shades of skin. Let’s get to the point where it is a non-issue. Nothing to discuss. Until then, I am not convinced it does not come from something negative. More importantly, the children are not only beautiful but they look so healthy and thank God!

- g-girl on February 18th, 2009

How precious is he!!! He looks so adorable and big sister Sam is such a cutie as well (hadn’t seen a pic of her in quite a while). My new son was born a day after little Charlie (2/9/09) so I can absolutely relate to the Woods clan right now, with the lack of sleep and all, but it’s so thrilling at the same time to have a new little one too! Best of luck to the growing family!

- Jennie on February 18th, 2009

That photographer did an excellent job at capturing the photo of the dog licking Tiger’s face. What a beautiful family. Congrats to Elin and Tiger!

- mel on February 18th, 2009

The pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! Tiger and Elin are so blessed to have such a WONDERFUL FAMILY!!! I’m so happy that Tiger again shared pictures of his new baby! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

- Crystal on February 18th, 2009

I think all the pictures are precious, especially the one of the whole family. In terms of the shade of color of someone’s skin, I would mostly agree with Allie and Anna. My husband was born and raised in the US, but, by ethnic background, is half-Chinese, and I am a fair-skinned midwestern girl. Our first son has blond hair, blue eyes, and skin as pale as mine. Our second son has dark hair, brown eyes, and darker skin. I’m curious what our third child (due in April) will look like, of course, and obviously, it’s not because I’m racist, nor do I take offense if anyone makes an innocent observation about my children’s skin or features in that regard. I’m sure there are some people that think that way, but in general, that’s not what I’ve heard or seen in my personal experience. Just 2 cents from someone in something of a “mixed-race” family. . . .

- Michelle on February 18th, 2009

Those have got to be the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. They literally took my breath away.

- Michele on February 18th, 2009

Hold on, mentioning a childs skin colour and who they favour in their looks and skintone is NOT racist. People get way too worked up about this issue as soon as colour gets involved.

Its like mentioning if a baby had red hair passed on from their father?

Stop trying to cause controversy when there is nothing there.

Gorgeous children.

- iluvallbabies on February 18th, 2009

Wow, I definitely don’t think anyone’s being racist in mentioning Charlie’s complexion. I noticed he was much fairer than Sam was when he was born. But I notice the same thing with hair color, amount of hair, eye color, facial features. It’s interesting to see what different children of the same parents can wind up looking like due to the combination of genetics.

Anyway, Charlie looks more like Tiger, I think, than Sam does. Sam has a lot of her mom’s facial features. I can’t believe how big Sam is! She’s adorable. I love all of Charlie’s hair!

- Kerri on February 18th, 2009

Tiger has always made me weak in the knees, but I’m afraid that Charlie is going to be even more gorgeous!

- Anna in IL on February 18th, 2009

so cute! the picture with the dogs is absolutely lovely!

- eternalcanadian on February 18th, 2009

g-girl…I disagree. My sister and I are both caucasian…I have very fair skin, blonde hair, blue eyes and she has an olive complexion..green eyes and brown hair…and it is commented on a lot and I don’t think it its negative, just an observation.

Anyway, the kids are both adorable!!

- Ashlee on February 18th, 2009

Congrats to the lovely family. I love the pic where Sam is giving a sweet kiss to her baby brother. Precious photos!

- Rosy J on February 18th, 2009

Hands down that is the most beautiful “in-the-moment” family photo I have ever seen. Seriously! The dogs just take the cake. Little Sam is being nuzzled by the dog yet she continues to look right into the camera. lol

I really, really want to comment on the skin color thing but I won’t because that’s a whole nother topic.

- Chris on February 18th, 2009

I bet the grandparents are IN LOVE! Such cutie patooties!! What a blessing!! Congratulations!

- Janet on February 18th, 2009

beautifullllll

- izabelle on February 18th, 2009

G*O*R*G*E*O*U*S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the most beautiful families I’ve seen on CBB. I wish Tiger’s Dad was here to see it all.

- Melissa on February 18th, 2009

Seriously, I understand what the poster up top meant when she said people should get over the skin complexion issues. It’s not like it’s …oh they’ve got different skin tones. Some of the posts were in the vein “The children are beautiful BUT the boy has lighter skin than his sister and looks more like his mom.”

I understand for most of you that is fine, but the constant skin color comments struck a nerve with me. It’s like all right already! Obviously they’re mixed race children, so shouldn’t we all expect they could possible have skin ANYWHERE between (or beyond) the mom & dad<

Maybe it’s an African American thing because I know that the darker one’s complexion (esp. if non-White),then it’s usually the less attractive in traditional Western mainstream culture. If you grow up in a Black household and you are the darker sibling, chances are you will compared less favorably to your lighter sibling. I’m not saying that has happened on this blog or will in the Woods household, since Tiger is a “Comblinasian” and neither child will likely look obviously African American.
Im just saying, I understand a different vein behind what some may mean as innocuous words.

With that said, the kids are beautiful and Sam has the prettiest smile I think Ive ever seen. God Bless this fam.

- Mel on February 18th, 2009

It’s understandable to see the situation from both sides. But if people are commenting on the basis of it just being an observation on biology, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing..it’s just an observation.

Genetics in general, in all species, not just humans (but other animals) coloring is pretty neutral when all babies are first born. Then, once the offspring is older the coloring starts to show up more and generally get darker.

- Mia on February 19th, 2009

G-Girl and Bea you are spot on!

Why does anyone feel the need to mention the boy’s complexion. BOTH kids are gorgeous. BTW,I’m black and skin color has never been an issue in my family of varied shades of brown or in other black families I know….And, I’m from the deep South. NO, it’s not “an African-American thing.” On the contrary, my people have a long history of accepting and embracing all shades of brown. We were the ones to embrace and claim Tiger as our own, even when he shied away from being called black, though the rest of the world saw him as a black man. One white golfer went as far as bring up fried chicken and collared stereotypes after he won the Master’s one year. So now you tell me who has an issue with color? It’s not blacks/African-Americans.

Also, even though his mother was white, how does the world see President Barack Obama? They see him as a black man. And what community embraced him without issue of skin color? The black community. What does Halle Berry consider herself, despite having a white mother she loves dearly? She says shes a black woman. And, what community has heartily welcomed and embraced her from day one? The black community.

So, you tell me who considers and treats who less favorably. Stop making generalizations about how we treat our own when you don’t know the culture or the history and have absolutely no clue.
Yes, there are some very ignorant, self hating blacks caught up on skin color. They learned to hate themselves because one group thought/thinks they’re better and more beautiful than another.

This is 2009 folks. If you feel the need to point out and make an issue of the skin color of a baby who is simply gorgeous then yes, you DO have an issue with skin color. How many comments do you read about the color of the many white babies featured on this site(which is about 90% of what’s shown)?

Beauty comes in ALL shapes and colors, and this is simply one beautiful family!

- Janelle on February 19th, 2009

Charlie is a lovely baby and Sam is gorgeous. Tiger and Elin are obviously very proud parents, as well they should be.

- SAR on February 19th, 2009

What a GORGEOUS family!

- Eleonora on February 19th, 2009

As regards to beautiful Charlie’s complexion, it may be that he may get darker as he grows because my son was the same- his father is french, but with dark olive skin whereas I am fair-skinned ish- and my son was light at birth but as he grew older, he became much darker! But nevertheless, both Charlie and big sister Sam are absolutely GORGEOUS! What a photogenic family!

- babyboopie on February 19th, 2009

Charlie looks exactly like Tiger. You know he is going to steal the hearts of the girls when he gets older.

- Brittany Sellons on February 19th, 2009

Tiger deserves all of this joy!! He certainly has brought enough of it to we golf fans watching him over all these years..God bless this beautiful little family!!!

- mary on February 19th, 2009

What wonderful family photos, Elin is really beautiful I haven’t seen that many pictures of her.
Who do the children look most like, I can’t tell

- Kelpy on February 19th, 2009

Beautiful family!! Congratulations on the new baby!!

And I agree with you Bea 100%. For some reason people find it necessary to point how light or dark a baby is when they’re of different ethnic backgrounds.

- Jas on February 19th, 2009

african, chinese, native american, thai, dutch and swedish. these are some mixed babies! i love it. i think sam looks more like her mom, with dad’s coloring. maybe charlie will be the opposite.

- sgtmian on February 19th, 2009

Awww!

- LL65 on February 19th, 2009

Congratulations, Janelle-yours is easily one of if not the most blatantly racist posts I have ever seen on this site. I find it hilarious that you and your buddies (Bea, G-Girl) find it necessary to throw a fit over innocent comments regarding Charlie’s skin tone when you three have easily proven to be the most racially motivated and obsessed people here. As long as there are people like yourself who like to claim others as “their own” like they’re pieces of property (and we all know what your reaction would be if a white person claimed the same about Tiger, Obama, Berry-who, by the way, has said she had a horrible time in school because many students said she wasn’t “black enough”), racism is going nowhere. That chip on your shoulder is all your own; don’t you dare try to pin it on anyone else.

The photos are adorable, Sam’s gorgeous, and Charlie looks just like Elin while Sam’s a real mix. It’s too bad some people felt the need to ruin the discussion because of their own personal insecurities.

- Lauren on February 19th, 2009

This child joins a growing list of tri-racial and Anglo heritage progeny that will be presumed to be European dominant or white. Tiger has always been proud of his European heritage, despite the “racial cynics” who had great difficulty in accepting Tigers’ Euro/Asian/mulatto heritage. Kudos to Tiger for speaking truth to the heritages that informed his life. And not selling his ancestors short, to keep a few radicals placated.

And hopefully by the time that this child has to affix a racial category, such harsh and divisive labeling, will be “passe” anyway.

And so what if he gets a little darker. Who doesn’t look better with a tan.

- BeckyPeabody on February 19th, 2009

Before anyone calls me a WASP racist, I’d just like to clarify that I’m mixed race (Black, Amerindian and Caucasian)…

I can understand why skin tone is still considered a volatile topic but calling people “racist” is ridiculous. Nobody has said “OMG, Charlie’s so much cuter ’cause he’s more white and looks like mum who’s Swedish”. I think the only one who may have written in a potentially ambiguous manner is Anne (5th post). Everybody has appreciated their beauty.

I think it’s quite natural for people to wonder who mixed children favour in their looks, it’s called ‘curiosity’ – we’re still a ‘rarity’, so to speak. In a hundred years nobody will make this kind of comments, don’t you worry.

When I was a kid, people used to wonder about my appearance but never told me anything because they feared they’d offend me. When I got to tell them my mother was South American, they’d go “oooh, that’s why you look exotic…”. It never crossed my mind they meant it in a malicious way.

Genetics are just incredibly interesting, and this is an incredibly gorgeous family.

It’s also quite interesting how they kind of followed a ‘naming pattern’: a nickname as a first name (Sam/Charlie) and a middle name that kind of resembles the girl’s one (Axel/Alexis).

- Monica on February 19th, 2009

Monica.

We don’t know whether this child or anychild who looks white is mixed. Tiger has enough European ancestry, that this child could be a single race. Meiosis is a highly unpredictable process, where genes can cross-over and/or be spliced out.

No one knows the racial mixture of anyone. in fact. There are people in England who have been classified as white, that turn out to have documented African Ancestry. And there are people in America, with some mulatta ancestry, that doesn’t show up on genetic tests or in their faces.

Let’s not be presumptious about someone’s DNA. Parents, not strangers should affix the identities of a child. Racial, ethnic, sexual or otherwise. We have the right to observe how we view a person, but we don’t have a right to affirm a racial identity, plural or singular.

- BeckyPeabody on February 19th, 2009

Janelle, your post is dripping irony. I dont know why you feel the need to state the fact that the black community embraced the mentioned public figures. ”The black community” embraced Barrack Obama, well you know what Janelle, obviously so did the asian, white and hispanic etc.. communities because hes now the president of the USA, not the president of theblack community..as you so eloquently put it. So how dare you preach about the black community and what they have excepted, you cant talk for every black person out there. Beleive me if other ethnic groups hadnt excepted black people then being not racist, realistic, Obama wouldnt be in the white house!
Im sick to death of the racist card being thrown around in the one direction but believe me it goes both ways Janelle!

And I must say both of those children are stunning! I think Sam is a future supermodel!!

- Harlow on February 19th, 2009

Well…as a mother of 2 bi-racial children, I’ve learned that people always have to compare how my kids look. I am Italian and Irish and very fair skinned while my husband is Colombian. Our 4yr old daughter is as dark as my husband, she is his spitting image, while my son is almost as fair as I am. All the time, all everyone does is compare their looks.

I’ve never considered it racist….I don’t sit and compare my kids either, but after a while, it does get old hearing who looks more like who.

btw, Janelle, the ‘caucasian’ community has not shunned Hallie or Barack…Hallie is one of my all time favorite actresses. It’s thinking and generalizations like that why there’s so much hate in this country. This site features ALL celebrities, I see alot of Jessica Alba’s sweetheart, M.I.A, Melissa Joan Hart and Nicole Richie and basically whoever is a celebrity who just had a baby, I think it’s a wonderfully diverse arrangement and I doubt they just ‘pick’ out certain ones. Like I said before, it’s sad to have such a very closeted way of thinking there

It’s gotten off topic here, point is the family is gorgeous. My favorite pic is Sam giving her little brother a kiss, just precious

- Missy on February 19th, 2009

He is so cute

- Shirelle on February 19th, 2009

Gorgeous photos and family!!! Adorable children, and could the two pictures where Charlie is being kisses be more wonderful?!

It’s almost been talked to death, but the skin tone issue… some comments probably come from ignorance and fear and pain, but many are from general curiosity and are normal – who does the child look like – is it mom dad or great uncle what’s his name? Where are the curls from, the long lashes, the artistic bent? It’s touchy when we’re dealing with racial issues, but folks shouldn’t jump to conclusions one way or the other.

My husband and I both have dark hair. Our son is a redhead; when he was born he looked blond. We got, and get, tons of comments about his looks with people always asking where he got the hair from.

- Julie on February 19th, 2009

Hey there. I think I was the first to comment on Charlie’s complexion compared to Sam. I’m not responsible for any comments made after that might have shown perference to either child. I never claimed one child was more gorgeous than the other. I only commented because it’s an observation. When you have kids, people make these observations all the time. Whomever made too much of the complexion comments probably does not have kids yet. I am married interracially and though my husband and I don’t have kids yet we make these observations all the time with other interracial families in our social circle where all of the children are loved equally. Like anything else, you try to see what characteristics the kids picked up from both parents. Both Sam and Charlie are gorgeous. Let’s all relax and stop injecting racism that clearly isn’t there. Thank God I live in an area of the country where we’ve moved boyond this whole lighter is better foolishness.

- Emma on February 19th, 2009

It never fails – any time there is a post of an interracial couple there will be someone to comment on skin coloring! (Sometimes I actually play a game by thinking of a number and guessing how many comments I will read before the requisite “color” comment will appear!) I guess I have grown to view it as people just being people – but I often ask myself – why? Why bring up the fact that Heidi Klum’s first son is darker than her second, or the fact that Sam may or may not be darker than her brother? What difference does it make? Why mention it?

Which brings me to another interesting observation. It never fails – whenever they post a picture of Matilda Ledger there will ALWAYS be someone who mentions how sad it is that her father is no longer around! We all know he’s dead – I wonder if that comment will follow that poor little girl for the rest of her life too! “She’s so cute, look at those cute boots she’s wearing…it’s so sad that her dad won’t be around to see her grow up…”

The bottom line for me is at a certain point we should let go of the past and things that really don’t matter…

- Chicki on February 19th, 2009

As a final note. Tiger’s children are loved immensely. Let’s learn from that and try to love and understand each other rather than make assumptions and inject negativity where it doesn’t belong. All Americans support Barack and others who contribute to our country, regardless of race. There is no doubt racism is a big part of American’s past and still exists in the present, but most of us on this message board are smart moms and moms to be who do not harbor such thoughts and do not raise our children to harbor negative thoughts for anyone based on characteristics like race, sexual orientation etc. Let’s move forward with more trust and respect for each other next time. The visiters of this site and the owners are loving and well-intentioned. No more mistrust and name calling. This is a safe space.

- Emma on February 19th, 2009

He’s precious, and I love that photo of Sam kissing him on the forehead. So cute. They have a beautiful family.

- FC on February 19th, 2009

wow people! Unexpected on CBB! I just thought I would say that I love their smiles and love the pictures with the dogs…They look like a perfectly happy family Well done.

- Aurora mia on February 19th, 2009

Sam and Charlie are crazy beautiful!!!

I just have to add my 2 cents, in one of the post that seemingly was the most racist one on the board, it stated that if it were a white family that nothing would have been noted about the skin tone….. Go to the picture of Jerry and Rebecca’s twins and read some of the comments there.

My son is not I guess what you would call bi-racial or maybe he would I’m not sure. I am irish, itlian, german and indian. His father is vietnamese (sp) frenach creole (french, spanish and african) I get comment all the time about his skin tone. Dosen’t bother me. Never has never will. Its a common statement that I think should be accecpted by this day and age as a general question and not a racially motavated comment. Anywho like I said before the kiddos are crazy beautiful

- Shannon on February 19th, 2009

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FAMILY! EVERYONE IS SO GORGEOUS AND HAPPY INCLUDING THE DOGGIES!SAM HAS GROWN UP SO MUCH MORE FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD SEEN HER,SHE IS STUNNING.

CONGRATS!

- Mom of Boys on February 19th, 2009

wow…some comments in here are really shocking.pointing the facts that charlie is fairer than sam is not racist at all just a fact.i’m a black french mom and my son is bi-racial and looks more like his caucasian dad,and someone asking me if he’s mine doesn’t offend me…they are curious,me too as a mom of a bi-racial i love to admired bi-racial kids skin tone because it’s beautiful…please don’t call people what they aren’t

- kty on February 19th, 2009

Oh my Gosh, Sam Alexis looks so Swedish to me. Just, her expression, her outft – she looks like all the kids that go to the kindergarten next to my home. I wonder how much Swedish she speaks?

- jen on February 19th, 2009

Honestly, babies of African amd Hispanic decent are born lighter than what they turn out to be. It’s not anything new. I am Black American and I am the same skin tone as the actress Kerry Washington. When I was born, I was almost as light as Sam Alexis. We get darker the older we get. Also, look at baby pics of Tiger, he was A LOT lighter than he is now. Nothing to be suprised about. It just like a lot of caucasians are born with dark hair, then it turns blond, or vice versa!

I think the children are beautiful. I was more concerned to see who they resembled,more than whos “color” they have. I don’t think that we should be worried about that.

most african american community does not always accept bi-racial children. and I’m speaking from experience. I’m of african/west indies indian decent. My oldest son is mixed. he has more of his fathers complexion. he has been called every derrogeratory name in the book.all because of his skin color. it really sickens me,that after all these years,people still pass judgement on others because of skin color.
