Haley's Hair

Well, Haley chopped her hair yesterday. She really hacked a chunk off of each side just above her ears. I could have cried (and she actually did cry... alot). But for some unknown (albeit convenient) reason, I cannot post the pictures on my blog today. It seems that the world of technology has had pity on me. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough. Stay tuned...

UPDATE:

Here's a video I uploaded... Click on the link below.

Three things that are awesome

Three things that are awesome:

1. The weather is warm enough that the kids can throw their jackets and bookbags down on the driveway and play outside after school.

2. Baked potatoes smell soooo good.

3. Homemade broccoli and cheddar cheese soup.... yum!

Cousin clothes

Daniel's Birthday Celebrations Have Started!

Daniel came home to a box waiting by our kitchen door!

Turns out Great-Grandma sent a nice package of treats and even a few cool shirts and a card to wish him a happy birthday.  The fun has begun!
