Mother’s Day was a quiet day spent at home. It was raining so the kids spent the day in their pjs. We really needed a day at home after several weekends where we were constantly on the go. Yesterday started with haircuts for all 3 kids followed by playtime at home and naps for the . . . → Read More: Saturday in Pictures

Wyatt’s hair has been out of control for a while – it stuck up on top, it was longer on one side than the other in the back, and it was a big mess all of the time.

Hair and Nails

Last Friday my mom took Juliana for a manicure – now she has had as many professional manicures as I have had in my life – that would be 1.  My mom was sitting next to Juliana having her nails done as well.

When asked what color she wanted – “Rainbow”.  My mom . . . → Read More: Hair and Nails

Haircut

Juliana has only had a few trims of her hair to this point, today was her first major haircut. She was very good while it was being cut – it helped that our next door neighbor was doing it and she cut it at our house (in the front yard since it was nice . . . → Read More: Haircut
