Birthday, haircut and other pictures

My birthday was Thursday and I decided that my birthday present to me would be a haircut. As Jeric got bigger, he pulled it more and more often. It was also long enough that I would sleep on it, or Husband would. Besides, it has been almost two years since I cut it significantly, so I was due for a cut.

[Every couple of years I grow my hair out really long and then chop it all off. It's fun.]

So far I really like my hair cut. It isn't actually as straight as it looks in these pictures because the weight of my long hair pulled it straight, but without the weight it goes poofy and I have to straighten it -- worth it because now Jeric can't pull it as much. So the ends are a little flippier than they seem here.

More about my birthday:
Husband bought me a book and a movie and took me out to dinner for my birthday. The book was the newest (last? I don't know) in the Fablehaven series. I haven't read it yet because it's been a while since I read the others and I want to read them again first. The movie was Hercules, because (if you remember), we were watching it when I realized my on-again-off-again contractions were getting closer together and more intense -- and that's what I count as the beginning of labor. Good times.



And now some random pictures, mostly of sweet Jeric.




I found this picture on my camera when I was uploading all these pictures. I'm kind of mad at Husband about it.

Husband's favorite "monster outfit" -- he picked it out for Jeric.


Sweet sleeping boy.

Just some cuddling.

Me super likey your hair! And I can't believe that I just said that. It must say something about the amount of time that I spend around middle schoolers. Which actually is no time at all. So basically I have absolutely no reason for saying something as fantastically ridiculous as I just did. :)

Kathryn- you wouldn't believe that I got myself the same haircut for my birthday! Wow we were thinking the same thing!

Speaking of WOW, Joshua has really grown! He is such a gorgeous baby. I'm glad to see that you all are doing well, and I hope that you had a happy pecan day. Love you!

Cute haircut! And, I love the little bathrobe!

I love, love, love the haircut! It looks so cute! My hair does the same thing. The longer it is, the straighter it is. Its not curly, but it just does these wavy, flippy things. I definitely have to straighten it. My Merry Grace got the stick straight hair. She doesn't even have to brush it after a shower or bath and it dries straight as a rod. I don't know where she gets it from, but there are times I'm envious. :)

The pictures of Joshua are cute. He is getting so BIG!! Paige has a pink bathrobe just like Joshua's blue one. I actually just packed it up today with her too small clothes. It made me sad. :(

Glad you're back with updates! Missed you!

First, that update blog is brilliant! Thank you thank you! Second, I am lame and didn't call you on your birthday. Not because I forgot...I would remember and then tell myself I as soon as I was done doing whatever I was doing I would call. Then I would forget until I was in the middle of something else. I actually did this for days until I just felt stupid for calling a week later...lame, I know. Sorry. I will have to make it up to you when you get out here :)
Second, Joshua has changed, a lot. Too much if you ask me! I can't wait to get my hands on him again, I miss him! Third, although you are mad at Steven I am happy with him. I think the picture of you and Joshua sleeping is adorable!

Fourth...I LOVE your haircut!

Who cut your hair? I totally want to cut mine but I am scared that they will mess up.

cute pictures! Nick takes awful sleeping pictures of me too. He thinks it's pretty funny to get close ups on me with my mouth open and my hair going every which way!Excited for your move! We need to get together before you go!
