New Hair! (And New Pictures)

so, i took a shower the other day and noticed that my hair was coming out. a lot. it's a hormonal thing with me that happens in cycles, but keeping my hair short usually keeps it under control. it's been a loooong while since i've had a haircut, though, and i was shedding majorly again. so, i decided to get it cut.

ta-da!!

it's quite a bit shorter than i expected and definitely the shortest my hair has ever been, but i think i really like it!

it looks like i'm dancing a jig in this next one. but i'm not. i know i generally dance random jigs, but that's not the case here.


apparently, i was trying to bite somebody and rick was surprised by that.

it's the too-big-for-your-face black glasses club. we're in it.

this is shiloh modeling a dress i made for her last week. i used this same material to make a shirt for her two years ago, and i LOVED it. when i was going through some of my fabric, i found just enough to make this dress, and it may be my favorite one so far. :o)

she's such a princess. i love her.

in this next one, she's playing the "sleep" game. i wish she played this for real more often. in this game, they lay blankets out everywhere like they're making a bed and lay their animals or babies down next to them or sometimes in the next room. then, they pretend that the animal or baby is crying in the night and they have to get up and take care of it. it's pretty cute.


i caught her reading a book in front of the back door. she really likes to read. even though she doesn't know how. ;o)

signing "i love you." aww...


she's been doing this lately, and it's been driving me crazy! she keeps sticking just one finger on the roof of her mouth, and i can't get her to stop. i think i'm going to put vinegar or something on her fingers and see if that helps. it's just so gross! it was cute, though, how she had her legs crossed in this picture. :o)

another "caught you" picture, reading to her baby. she dressed her baby up in pajamas and everything after her bathtime one night.


mamaw mayme got her hair done, too. :o)


more sewing projects -- i made the girls matching nightgowns. they loooove wearing nightgowns! and i was really surprised by how well these fit...

they got carried away, as usual...


i was just meaning to take a picture of the back of the nightgowns, but this is actually a pretty cute picture of them holding hands. :o)

and that's it for now. there are more pictures of lara attached to the email that i send out when i make a post. if you want to be added to that email list, just let me know. :o)
