Anna's First Hair Cut

My baby girl got her first haircut at 15 months old. The fine baby wisps are all gone and now in a plastic baggie. Not sure what I might do with them...but I ought to keep them, right? :) Anna did surprisingly well during her hair cut. I expected yelling, flailing of arms, more yelling and attempts at crawling out of her chair. This is one time I am glad she proved me wrong. Sat there like and angel! There are pics of her at my Picasa Web Album site. I have trouble downloading pics to this blog so I am keeping them on Picasa. 

Twitter-pated!

Tweet tweet! I succumbed...I am now a Twitter-er. ONLY because Matt has been having trouble getting reception with his phone at work and I was having trouble getting a hold of him. I only found out what was going on when a friend from Oklahoma called to talk to Matt (b/c he thought Matt was home from work), I happened to mention that I couldn't get a hold of Matt, and Steve tells me that Matt's having reception problems and he found out on Twitter. Good grief! I can't even keep up with Facebook so I am not sure I will keep up with Twitter. You never know, I may surprise myself. After all I do now use the Things application Matt bought for me for the iPhone. It helps me get things done. Instead of having lists on paper all over the house I now have them on my phone...most of the time. He wore me down until I finally tried it. It does help.  Back to Twitter, the most surprising thing I found out was that my IN-LAWS are on Twitter! I am way behind the times if they beat me to it! Now you have to update your status mom. :) I'll be watching for you!

I'm Still Alive

Well, I thought I'd at least say hi. It has been quite awhile since I have last posted. It seems that when I take the time to sit down and go through emails and think about blogging, well, it's late and I'm about ready to fall asleep sitting at the computer. I can't seem to find an easy and convenient time to do this. But I will continue to try, try again. :)

This evening was a special evening for Ethan and Emma. We attended their awards ceremony for Cub Scouts and American Heritage Girls. I presented Emma and the rest of the girls with their award. I was pretty nervous about going up, but it ended up working out just fine, of course. And then Ethan went up to receive his awards. I worked on the requirements for some of his awards so I felt like I earned them too! :) He got a belt loop and pin each for Marbles, Swimming, and Bowling. And then he also received his Tiger Cub Badge. He was pretty excited about it all. So, now we will go through the different options again and see which ones he would like to earn. It's been fun to help him earn different things for Scouts. It's not hard and gets us doing things we wouldn't normally do.
