When I was pregnant with Olivia, I really kind of wanted a boy. I thought that would be nice to have one of each. But, now having little Miss Liv around, and seeing Ava with her…no boy would do in her place. I love saying, “my girls” or “the girls“. It just feels complete.

 

Yep, if you were wondering where I was in the pictures below…that is me with the brown hair. I noticed my roots getting darker and darker since I was pregnant with Ava. After having Olivia they were even worse…and I decided I didn’t really want to be a bleached blonde. So, I asked the hairdresser to match the roots and low-and-behold this is what we got. I HATED it for the first week, but I am finally getting used to it and while I prefer the blonde (sniff, sniff)…I’ll try to work with what Mother Nature (and the hairdresser/Matrix hair color) has thrown my way.

 

 

 

 

Little Miss Sara, baby sister of our family, got married this weekend. It was a crazy weekend…Mom and I were finishing up guest favors TWO HOURS before the ceremony when we finally gave up (thus the not so pretty hair in the pictures). Mom was the wedding MASTER. She did both the wedding cake and the grooms cake along with most everything else. It was a great day, fun for everyone. The best part is that Sara and Jeff seem very happy and suited for each other. They are both Black Hawk helicopter pilots in the Army and stationed at Fort Hood. We are all super proud of them and their accomplishments, as well as thrilled for them as they start this new adventure. Ava was the flower girl and she did really well. She made it down the aisle with me, and then sat with Grandma & Grandpa, where she promptly fell asleep! Couldn’t have timed it better.

 

 

We are trying to get the girls on the same evening schedule…bath, story, bed by 8 o’clock. So far, we are getting closer. Of course, Olivia gets up three hours later for a snack, but at least we are getting closer to having a few hours to talk/watch TV/catch up on email.
