the final "little boy" thing

At the end of last summer, I noticed that Trevor's hair had really changed from being baby fine and soft (and super manageable, too!) to being a bit coarser and much more unruly.  We have tried to keep his cute little boy haircut since then, but finally had to throw in the towel this weekend.

While we sat in church, Trevor told us that he wanted to cut his hair like his friend Luke, so since he was so specific about what he wanted on his own, we finally caved.

One last photo of Trevor with all his hair:

okay, maybe just one more.....

Only downside to the haircut?  iPhoto is now thoroughly confused as to who is Trevor and who is Olivia in every picture.  

trumps 'em all.

My plan for tonight was that after I settled both kiddos into bed, I would curl up on the loveseat with a glass of red and blog to my little heart's content.

fail.

Trevor just came out here and asked me if because Shane is on duty, could he snuggle me for the night.  [If you have forgotten, the night before Olivia was born, Trevor came into my bed around 2 or 3 am saying "he just wanted to be with me"...and the rest was history]  There went my plans.  Off to snuggle with my little bundle of beautiful baby boy.


Almost five year old sized baby boy, but always my baby boy.

Because "mama, i want to be with you" trumps 'em all.

always.

OOPS

Have gone so far off the grid the past couple of weeks....blog has crossed my mind a lot, and I will get caught up and post-date the posts......by the end of the week.

Now that it is officially on my to-do list, it will actually get done.  :)
Happy Monday!

Paying it Forward....and showing some love!

On Feb 7, I pledged to "Pay it Forward"  to the first 10 people to comment on the following status on my Facebook account:  

I love the idea of paying it forward so, I’m participating in this Pay-It-Forward initiative: 
The first ten people who comment on this status with "I'm in", will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year (one for each remaining month)- anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise!

There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.

I know that other versions of this require that the recipients pass on the kindness as well.....but I am skipping that part.

If you are one of the first 10, I will message you and let you know so you can send me your address (if I don't already have it).

Ready........GO!

I am SO looking forward to showing some love to these outstanding women over the next ten months!  I'll update as I go as to what I do for each of them!
