notice anything missing?

She decided she wanted "really short!" hair just like her Aunty Sue. She even got enough cut off to send it to donate to making wigs for children. She absolutely loves the new length, and I'm sure if feels a lot cooler for the Summer.

what could be more fun than spinning in a bowl?

a little JP update . . .

Our little stinker is 10 months old already!! He's crawling everywhere, pulling himself up on things (and SO proud when he does), has 5 teeth, is eating a big variety of foods, and is a very happy little guy. We've also started the weaning process, which hopefully means a healthier Summer for me, and I'm also hoping it leads to more solid nights of sleep for both of us.

Elayna . . .

A few days ago I had a dentist appointment and took Elayna & Justin along. Justin fell asleep pretty quickly and the hygenist must've thought Elayna looked bored, so she gave her a mask and gloves and put her in charge of suction for my cleaning. Well, Elayna took her task very seriously and did a fantastic job. She thought it was great that she got a Summer fieldtrip, and has a future career all picked out now!

And this is a picture of her showing off on the swingset ~ she's started to take notice of the neighbourhood boys poking their heads over the fence. Oh boy . . .
