Erin had a long labor and difficult delivery, but looks amazing. Ian is extremely precious. Since they can't post any pictures right now I will post some for everyone to see!

Parks and Hair Cuts

I picked Natalie up from school today at 4:00 p.m. and we went to Trinity Park for a play and picnic dinner.

After the park, we went to Sweet and Sassy Salon and Natalie got her beauitul long curls chopped off. The hair on one side of her head was 1/2 an inch longer than the other so we had to cut her hair to even it up. Now its a short curly bob. I must admit, I really liked the longer hair!

Love to you all!!

Beautiful Girl

Since I first enrolled Natalie in "daycare" when she was 20 months old, I have had continuous battles with Natalie regarding her school. She was an absolute doll at First Presbyterian Church in Arlington, but has been a handful at the schools in Liberty Hill. She would cry when we dropped her off, but stop shotly thereafter. However, if given the option to stay at home, she would always choose home. Never did she say she wanted to go to school. It was always dramatic dropping her off, she would cry, cling, and whine. Eventully the teacher would try to divert her attention while we slipped out. It was heartbreaking. That was THEN...

Enter ACC, the new school Natalie attends. My clingly, whiney child is now loving school. In fact, she ASKS to go to school everymorning. It hasn't been a chore to get her ready as she is so excited to go see her teacher and "friends". I love the fact she is so happy, and seems to be blossiming!

Friends

Friendship

There's a miracle of Friendship
that dwells within the heart,
And you don't know how it happens
or where it gets its start...
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift,
And you realize that Friendship
Is God's most perfect gift.
-Jean Kyler McManus

Here is to Natalie and her friends, Gracie and Georgia. May the three of you share love and happiness together!

Blow Out

Here are a few pictures of Natalie's "Blow Out" . I blew her hair straight to see what it would look like. I must admit she looks way older.
