Bee:
Trying out a babysitting share with her best (and only) friend. They are too cute together.
She’s started using a little bit of sign language and perhaps only amusing to me, when I ask her a question, she’ll often respond with a brief little nod to mark her assent.
Otis:
Wants to be a zookeeper. He talked relentlessly about going to the zoo to see the alligator feeding. We fought the crowds on Memorial Day, waited and waited, and finally witnessed the grand event, only to find out that the alligators eat pellets of food. Otis walked away and said, in a rather accusing tone, “You told me they feed them chickens!” In a return to grade school mentality, I exclaimed, “It wasn’t me!! It was Fifth Aunt Grandma K!” After finding out the truth, I’ll also point a guilty finger at F. I don’t know what they were thinking.
I don’t know if you can see the sizable scab on his lip and nose where he fell down while racing with F. I guess it’s about time that he discover the exquisite torture of picking a scab. I know this is totally gross, but there are members of my family (who shall remain anonymous) who loved picking at my scabs when I was a kid.
me:
wah.
In recent months, my hair has started to gray. Since I don’t want to dye my hair nor become one of those crazy Asian ladies that holds onto their long hair way past an appropriate age, I thought it might be time for a change. The hairdresser, who was somewhat nervous, was pretty cautious until the very end, when she declared I needed some “texture” and proceeded to cut a bunch of hair off the top. So instead of the long layers on top, she changed the shape of the haircut and I ended up with somewhat of a helmet head. I came home, felt crummy, and told myself that I’d feel better after a good cry but I couldn’t even cry! What’s up with that?? I cry during commercials, I positively wept when I watched The Notebook (on the airplane, even!) and I can’t even cry over a bad haircut? It’s not bad, I guess, but rather just not what I expected. And as the hairdresser kept saying as she finished up, “Short hair grows really fast!” and “Just put some cream on it and it’ll be fine!”
you always have the best pics! the girls pic is way too adorable. Otis looks good as a frog rider! :) And your hair looks good, even though i’m biased since i heart short hair and about to chop my hair again!
I think your short hair looks great! BUT: as a person that’s worked in salons before I have some advice: if you are not happy and you feel up to it, call the salon back and ask the stylist for a follow up haircut. Most stylists want you to be happy and if there are things you want changed she should give you another haircut for free!
Bee and her friend in the wagon are too cute, what a sweet photo.
It doesn’t look bad at all Shiso.
I’ve had long hair for so long and find it easier to manage than short that everytime (the last time being about 10 years ago) I chop it off I feel weird for a long time….
Sigh…I will be one of these crazy people who hold on to my long hair past its due time. It’s really thick too which can be difficult.
but you look fine!
as do the kids…
Tell Otis, I was once on Komodo dragon and say the dragons eating a goat….
Truth!
i really like your hair!!! in fact, if my hair could handle it, i would go short like yours too – my hair is much too frizzy though.
Okay, so I was looking at the pics before reading the post and I thought, “Cute cut!!” I like it. But then I know I’m not the important one here.
My hubby always asks me before I get a haircut, “Are you sure you want to do it? Are you sure you’re not going to have to get a another cut to fix it?”
My hair was crazy long. It was a year since my last cut but now it’s shoulder length. I have cutter’s remorse. I miss my very long, inappropriate for my age hair.
I wish i was brave enough to go for a really short haircut. (I think you look adorable!) Cutting my own hair that short may reveal the fact that my head is slightly smaller then the circumference of the earth.
Gray hair is a crown of glory. Wear it with pride! Nothing is more unattractive than a line of white roots peeking out from dyed hair. Besides, hair dye changes the texture of your hair and makes it brittle and unhealthy.
Each of my gray hairs is a gift, reminding me that I’m still alive. Several of my childhood friends never lived to experience gray hair, so I consider it a blessing.
I ‘ve always wondered how people can manage long hair when they are busy mom. I like your short hair. you will know that somebody has worse than yours when you see me in two weeks. mine is as short as you but very amateur style. my husband always cut it.I have never been to hair salon after coming to united states because service doesn’t worth the price.
Letting my hair grow grey was one of the best decision I’ve made. It was definitely a LOAD off my shoulders, without having to colour my hair! This was something I did for myself. I felt happy! You are an INCREDIBLE person, extremely talented and truly blessed. I love reading your blog. You go, girl!
