Long Commute

I have found a new hairstylist. THE hairstylist. The one that I have been looking for all my life; who listens to me, and gets me, and does what I ask. Imagine that.



Take a look at what she did:


This is the first haircut I have had in a LONG time where I have not had to tell myself, "at least it will grow." Who accomplished this amazing feat?


The newest Mrs. Rowley. :)


Dave and Andrea came from Greenville, SC for a visit here July 4th weekend, and upon request, Andrea brought her scissors. Jen, Brianne, and I had a haircutting party on Tuesday morning and Andrea quickly established herself as the best hairstylist any of us have ever had.


Jen and I are now concocting plans to make the 6 hour commute every 3 months or so. Or get Dave and Andrea to move down here. Either one.

I LOVE IT!!! :) And I can see by your bright smile and eyes that you really do love it. :)

I asked Andrea to book me an appointment in her salon when I come down in August, and almost 2 months out, that Saturday was already completely booked! :) So, she will cut my hair when I'm there, too.

Glad you love it, and it looks great!!!!!!

It is a great haircut! My last one was AWFUL. It was probably the WORST one ever. I had a wonderful beautician from 2004-2008. She's only about 45 minutes away (close to our old house). maybe I should make that commute if you're going to make a 6 hour one, lol. Oh and btw earlier this week I tried your yummy blueberry muffin recipe. They are tasty even with less sour cream (I didn't have a full cup on hand). No offense, but I have no desire to try your "responsible" ones. Oh and we made them a few days ago and they're not all gone yet. I got some blueberries at a blueberry farm near us and thought that was the time to try your recipe. :-)

Tonight We Babysat Brianne

How's that for a title? Very creative, I know. Let me know if you ever need me to come up with a witticism for you. Totally kidding here! :) Matt and Jen went out on their monthly Date Night, so we got a chance to have Brianne over for the evening. What fun! They don't really play with each other, just near each other. Hopefully that will change. Bathtime! This cracks me up. Brianne dive-bombed a rubber duck! Who knows what Noah is doing. :) So cheesy, this kid! She really, really wanted my camera. So the whole evening went well. Josh helped out, which was unexpected and wonderful. :) After her bath, Brianne was crying (I think she got cold) and I gave her to Josh while I finished up with Noah. Once we got her warmed up, she was fine. She is such a sweetheart, and we look forward to next month when we get her again for an evening. Oh, and we're so looking forward to our own date night to take place later this month! Somehow I think Matt and Jen are get...

365 Project, week 4

Image
A pretty normal week for us again!  We had lots of everyday moments in preparation for an out-of-the-ordinary week to come.  Here's how it looked:   Daddy time in the evening often involves an episode of Bonanza.  Little Joe is a favorite around here! Bath time for Seth.  Maybe it's because he's my second child, but I do not have anywhere near the amount of baby gear I had with Noah.  Baby bathtub? Nowhere in sight.  It's Kitchen Sink City for us!  For this reason, you may not see an actual bath picture, because it takes all my hands to hold on to Seth in the sink.  If I ever have a helper, we may see good future blackmail bath time photos. :) One afternoon Noah and I took his after-school snack to the dock.  Handi-snacks, anyone?  I, for one, love that they still come with the little red stick for spreading, just like when I was his age! Cowboys are his favorite these days.  What're YOU lookin' at...

My Gunniwolf

Image
If you've never read it before, The Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper is a great children's story!  You get fantastic onomatopoeia ( what?!   that means words that sound like the noises they describe), beautiful illustrations, and an object lesson in obedience to boot.  PLUS, the kids I know seem to love it.  Bonus. Noah's school put on a literacy parade today, in which the children could dress up as a character from a favorite book. (If you ask me, it was just a chance to let the kids try out their Halloween costumes early. But still.)  Noah immediately wanted to be the Gunniwolf.  Knowing that any wolf costume I could find in the stores would come with a horrible scary face and be at least $10, we made his out of felt and glue for $3.25 with a much friendlier face. So, I have a little wolf on my hands.  And next Wednesday, our church's Patch the Pirate Club will be hosting a Noah's Ark party, where the kids can come dressed as any animal th...
