This, That and the Other Thing.....

So I was inspired while reading my cousin Sarah's Blog . She had just gotten a new hair cut and mentioned the fact that she hadn't had it cut since last August. I laughed when I thought about it and realized that I hadn't had my hair cut for over THREE years (not counting me whacking at it). Then I thought that perhaps that wasn't quite so funny, and I quit laughing and promptly decided to go get a hair cut. And I really like it! So here are the pictures. Is it me?





Brady got some great smiling pictures of Lilah this weekend...she smiles at daddy all the time. All he has to do is talk to her and whistle and he get's the best grins!



Since Jerry is so bad at updating his blog (love you bro) and everyone is always asking me about Jess and how she's doing, I thought I would post this cute picture of Jess and Cohen that he sent me this weekend!



Here is a cute picture of the kids in the King Solomon crowns that we made in school today. Vance had just declared that he was NOT going to smile! The kids decided that they were King Peter, King Edmund and Queen Susan. (We are reading the Narnia books for our read-aloud right now)



Lilah is doing well, but is wildly unpredictable when it comes to sleeping at night. She can go to bed at 9 and sleep through the night, or go to bed at 9 and wake up in four hours, or decide to not go to bed until 12, or go to bed at 9 and wake up for two hours in the middle of the night..... and on it goes. Last night it was the last choice on the list. I got 2 hours of sleep, was up for two hours and then got 3 hours of sleep before it was time to get up. 5 hours interrupted is so NOT enough for me. It makes me crabby.

Our weekend weather was so lovely! It was about 75 degrees Sat and Sun. We worked outside all day Saturday and got the lawn thatched and raked. It looks so good now! On Sunday, Shan and Marcus came to church with us at RLM and then came over to play. We had dinner and took the kids to the park, the guys threw the baseball around and then we came home and played a game of Scrabble (of course!). I would have won, but with my last tile I set Brady up for the win. Dumb me! :>)
It was a fun day, and wore the kids (and parents) out completely.



AND THEN.... this morning we woke up to an inch of snow. And it has snowed and melted repeatedly all day. YUCK. Where is spring????? Rain I can handle. Snow is ridiculous. Come on spring.... we're waiting for you with baited breath! Come out, Come out wherever you are!

You're hair is extemely cute!
I think that is the first time I've seen Vance NOT smile. He just must have wanted to try it.
Great job on updating the blog.
