Ryan's 2nd Birthday

 

 

Happy 2nd Birthday Kiddo!  I can’t believe it’s already been two years since I sat at the hospital with your big brother and the rest of the family just waiting for your arrival.  I love you so very much.  Just between you and me, I think I have the best nephews in the whole world.

Love Is…

My mom took this photo of Zach and I last weekend at my sister’s house.  I don’t usually like pictures of myself but I just love how natural and informal this is.

Happy Love Thursday

After a couple of weeks of trying to tame the bed head hair every morning, I decided to take matters into my own hands and give Zach a haircut.  Cutting hair is something I enjoy doing and at one time (many, many, years ago) thought I would do professionally.  These days I just keep up with my boys and help friends and family out with an occasional trim.

So, back to Zach.  I went out yesterday and bought some kid-friendly clippers for his first home hair cut.  I figured I would use the clippers around the bottom and sides but use scissors on top so it didn’t get too short.  I sat Zach in his booster chair in front of the tv and turned on The Upside Down Show so he would sit still.  It didn’t take long for me to decide just to cut everything off with the clippers.  I couldn’t believe how much hair he had up top when I started cutting!

He was very good and didn’t even fuss or wiggle much until the very end.  His hair is a little shorter than I originally intended, but I think it looks pretty good.  It will definitely be much easier to take care of now.  As much as I love his curls and would love to see it grown out a little, it is just too much work and not worth the fighting that ensues when I try to comb it.  Besides, I’m guessing it will be grown out in a couple of weeks anyway.

B-O-O-T-S!

boots.jpgGuess what I did today?  I ordered these fancy shmancy boots that you see over there to the left.  I’m so excited I could burst!  I finally found a pair of boots that will fit around my large calves and look good too.  I had to order them online because it seems all of the stores that sell them around here are out of either the size or color I wanted.  Plus, I had to have them shipped to my friend’s house in Oregon so that I can have them to wear this weekend.  If they don’t fit I’m going to be so pissed!  I paid way more than I wanted to for them so they better be absolutely perfect.  If not I’ll have to send them back and then I’ll cry.

One Question

by dee on December 13, 2006

Does it make it sound any better if I say I’m eating an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie for breakfast?
