First Haircut, Fifth Birthday, Moving Away and A Sleepover

Life here has been crazy to say the least

and this week was no different.
It started with a haircut for the big boy.

He only got a few curls cut off

but still . . . Before with PaPa, they both needed a trim.and after, now he doesn't have that

Superman curl falling in his eyes.

The cheek squeeze is a sign of the

THREE new teeth he just broke through! We could never think of a first haircut without thinking
about this one in 1980. Poor Uncle Tommy.


Then there was Ella's Birthday Party

They had it at the club so the kids played in the"treehouse"
and then went swimming before the cake & presents.WYATTJACK The Birthday Girl

Wyatt kissing Jack good bye,

they left from the party on the final move to Ohio
We'll see you soon!

Sitting in their new kitchen

and a Sleepover

Ella has been giving her parents a hard time

at bedtime since Samantha came home.

She seems to think there are all kinds of fun things

going on after she goes to bed.

We were her prize for going to bed the last few nights

First, we put together a new 100 piece puzzle

with a snack

Then we made a pizza with mushrooms.

She ate half of the can before they got to the pizza.

After a bath we ate the pizza

and put the puzzle together AGAIN

of course there was swinging on the new swing mixed in!

Then we cuddled in bed and watched Max & Ruby
When I took her home I hung around and took care of Samantha

while Mommy went to physical therapy for her knee

and Ella had a friend over to play.

Then it was time for lunch and a nap all around.
