Locks of Love

Every since Avery cut her hair a while back, we have been letting it grow. Well, it grew and grew and grew. Every day I would brush and brush and brush her hair and listen to the screams from all the tangles. She was looking a bit like this...

Now, we had purpose in growing her hair so ridiculously long. We had every intention to donate the hair. So, finally, we had enough hair. Look at this monstrosity!!!

So we got her hair cut yesterday and she seemed to be fine with it. This morning she woke up crying. I had to sit her down and show her all the little girls she would be helping with her hair. I also had to promise her I would pick her up from school early and we would celebrate with some ice cream. She felt much better.

# 4

We are very excited to announce that we are expecting another baby in October. The actual due date is October 14th. I tend to come a little early but I am hoping I will not deliver on Spencer's birthday. So we went for our ultrasound last night and the little baby was sound asleep. Finally, we got some movement and the sonographer quickly snapped a picture and said....




When we got home and got the kids to bed Mark and I were talking and he says that he thinks the sonographer could be wrong. So now the seed of doubt has been planted and I'll prepare for a girl but have a backup plan for a boy.

Graduation 2011

So my little Bean finally graduated from preschool. It was absolutely the best experience for her. She learned so much and made so many friends. Her buddy this year was Ms. Julietta. She woke up crying for Ms. Julietta a few days ago. My kids are growing up WAY TOO FAST!

Girl Scouts

The best decision we made this year was to put Avery in Girl Scouts. She was in a Daisy troop and had a total of five girls in her troop. We had a blast doing service projects, going to Girl Scout camp, spending the night at the children's museum, and having all the parties. Most recently, Avery attended her end of the year Daisy party at "Sweet and Sassy."
She got her hair done,




Her nails painted,



Did some dancing,



And had lots of fun with her friends.



Last week she bridged from a Daisy to a Brownie. We are excited because she'll have a lot more fun next year and she'll still be with all her same friends.
