So there you have it!  The girls favorites from both the beginning and the end of this past school year.  It's so fun (and comical) seeing what they say!

Big Haircuts for All!

OK, I've been saying that I'm going to post before and after pictures of the girls' (and my) haircuts for months, so here I am finally doing it!  Better late than never 😉.  It was such a big deal this time because three of the four of us had enough hair cut off to donate to Children With Hair Loss!  Izzy's obviously wasn't long enough, but the rest of us had at least 8 inches to donate, so we were super excited!

It all started with me chopping my hair at the end of February.  It was literally a night before decision for me and I didn't tell anyone I was doing it, which was so fun!

Ugh that "before" picture is frightening!  My hair was so dead at the ends, always tangled, and just blah, so it was time for a big change!  When I got home the girls LOVED it and all claimed that they wanted their hair short like Mommy's, so as soon as I could get them an appointment, that's exactly what we did!

So there you have it!  Fresh new cuts for a good cause.  A total win-win!

Isabelle: 22 Months!

Dear Busy,

Holy cow, only two more months until you are two!  Although, anyone that meets you would swear that you are well past two.  You speak like a four year old.  I say it every month and I'll say it again:  your speech and vocabulary are INSANE for a child that isn't even two years old.  You carry on full conversations with no problem at all.

You love to sing and be sung to.  Your favorite song by far is Twinkle Twinkle and we often hear you singing that to yourself in your crib 💓.

This month I finally decorated above your crib and you LOVE it!  Every day you look at it and say, "Mommy made that!"

We frequent Chik Fila and it is your favorite restaurant.  So much so that you'll be playing with toys and then you'll throw a purse over your shoulder and announce, "See ya later!  I'm goin' to Chik Fila!"  You beg to go there every time we pass one.  And recently we discovered there that you like lettuce (or maybe just the dressing, but whatever 😏).

Any time we take you out for dinner (or anywhere for that matter) we can count on you for some silly antics...

You get such a kick out of yourself, which is hilarious!

You love your swimming lessons with Daddy and are always asking to go.  You jump right in the water with no hesitation at all.  You just need to work on jumping out far enough so we don't end up leaving there via ambulance with a head injury one of these days 😨.

As much as you love the pool, you also love riding around the cul-de-sac on your plasma car.  Yup, we are now the proud owners of three plasma cars, so that you and your sisters each have one.  

You and Emma would often ride up to the bus stop to pick Addy up after school.  And when Addy gets off the bus you demand that she give you her backpack to carry home so you can pretend you are in school too.  Soon enough little lady!  Soon enough!

 You got on the Strider for the first time this month too!  I bet you'll be just like your sisters and riding a two-wheeler with no training wheels when you're three!

You wear your sunglasses upside down, just like Mommy used to do when she was your age!

Oooh and what late spring would be complete without some strawberry picking?!

OMG and here it is!  The picture that I love and that I say I'm going to get printed.  Lets hope I really do.  Look how sweet you look in your Memorial Day best!

Love love love!

And we'll round it out with a picture of you on the day you turned 22 months:

Oh Bizzers, you are just too cute!  You are really loving life now that we can be outdoors and you are more able to keep up with your sisters.  While you are still a (VERY) needy child, you are lots of fun too, so it all balances out.  We can't wait to see what you grow up to be like!  Love you to the moon and back!

Love,

Mommy
