Haircut

Here is our Lola girl. We sure love her to pieces . . . Aw. . .
but don't love this so much . . .
Look just a little closer. It's *the bald spot.* And the *old man* look going on in the front. . .So this mom whipped out these babies . . . Yes I did!
And did a whole lot of this. . .and cut off plenty of that . . .
She looks so much better now. . . NO more *old man* look in the front. . .
NO more "bald spot" in the back. . .
All of this equals one tuckered out baby. . .

A talking. . .

Motherhood is starting to get fun. . even the 5th time around. I'm not one to love love love the newborn stage. I mean. . .eat. . poop. . . cry. . eat. . .poop. . . cry. . no sleep. . SO NOT MY THING!! When my babies start to interact. . Oh heaven help me. When Lola gets a talking ~ this lady stops everything. She will just go on a talking and a coo~ing for her whole life. Pretty sure someday she will be able to out talk our Jacq. . . and that my friends is a gift!

It's that time again. . .

Piano recital time. . . Too much fun!! I think I get more nervous than he does. . . I mean look at him. . . but not to close. . . you might see the filing in his left tooth. . . :)
That's more like it . . here is my blurry. . dimply boy. Love him.
And again here with one of his best buddies. I'm glad they have each other.
Now the moment you have been waiting for. . . Look for it. . look for it. .
Yes that was "the point". . .Tim has been coaching him for days. I had to cheer because he actually had the nerve to do "the point." I think he was more nervous about "the point" than he was about his actually recital piece. You might notice him looking for his dad towards the end of the video.. . oh dear. . what will I ever do with those two.

I just love watching his hands go wild. Well. . maybe not so wild. . but. . I love it all the same. . .

Proud of you Maxie Boy!

WOWSER!

This family decided to take the plunge and really commit to skiing this year. Oh WOWSER!! We are really loving everything about winter . . we are tracking the forecast and jumping up and down when we see little white flakes of snow fall from the sky. Wed night Alexander, Aunt Lyss and I had date night on the mountain. . .
Nothing says I like to ski like this face. . . .This kid is fearless. He waves at everyone he sees and gets the chair lift a cheering. . . "GO LITTLE GUY!!" He does these little mini jumps down the hill and is always ready to try something new.
The flames on his helmet seem very fitting... he is a spitfire. Sometimes I think it is a race to the chair life. He just may have yelled a time or two for his mom and Aunt Lyss to "GO faster. . remember french fries!!"
There is no time for a lodge break. This kid finds a cozy spot on the hill for his Hot COCO . .because no trip to the mountain is complete with out a hot coco break.
Always. . .always a good time with little friend!
