Janie's First Haircut

Last Monday Janie and I both got our hair cut. Since the appointment was for both of us, and I didn't want her roaming the room while I had my turn, I asked my dad to come along and help take care of her. Of course he brought his camera, and got some darling shots of her losing her baby locks. She was so good, and just sat calmly the whole time, even while Natalie was blow-drying her hair. What a girl! I was sad to see her baby hair go, but she does look darling with her new 'do. Thanks for doing a great job Natalie! And thank you, Pa, for recording the event for us.

Adam's New Trick

Well I took Adam's training wheels off and this is what happened. Sorry it's a bit dark. The sun goes down so early nowadays.


In case you can't tell, he's riding his bike across the yard by himself!

Grateful Thoughts

I am grateful for:
the privilege of being a mother
a soothing voice to sing my children to sleep
a comfortable chair to rock them in
and a strong body to carry them to bed when they fall asleep in my arms, like Janie just did.

I am so thankful for the simple, beautiful blessings in my life.

Seven Years

Happy Anniversary My Love!
I love you.

Happy Halloween

It's that time of the year again. Time to get dressed up all cute or scary and get a bunch of candy. Here are a few pictures of my little cuties.

Adam was a Ninja Turtle...


Joshua was a Lemur (with the mask he bought at the zoo yesterday)...


And Janie was a clown.

We didn't actually go Trick-or-Treating this year, but we did go to a couple of church Trunk-or-Treat parties on Saturday, and visited the grandparents who live in town. It was a fun night.
