First Haircut

after

claire devoured the lollipop.

mya did as mya does and found something super fun to occupy herself.

I am sort of over the top with certain things. My kids' hair is one of those things. Claire has never had a hair cut. I love long hair on little kids and blonde hair, well, thats the creme del a creme or simply the best of the best. I can't tell you how many compliments we get on a daily basis about our kids from how cute they are to how well behaved they are to how adorably they are dressed to their blonde hair to their long eyelashes and to their blue/green eyes. Let's face it, we live in a pretty superficial society so how can my heart not burst with every word? It does, for these are my babies. That, and I know in the not too distant future, their hair will progressively get darker as mine did. Granted, it didn't truly happen until high school, but it did happen. With that being said, it took me three long years before I finally sucommed to the scissors. The stray pieces had finally seen their day and off they went. I must say it is a bit shorter than I would have liked, but it will grow. I am especially thrilled that the little curls that ever so gently flowed from her lower locks have not disappeared. She is simply adorable.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
