Haircuts today!

My friend Amber is giving Melody and Aaron haircuts today after school.  I thought it would be fun to do before and after photos of them.  So here's the before....

Oh gorgeous hair, if only thou couldst maintain thyself...

But...Oh yeah!, we did it. We chopped our little lady's long locks off. Her newest 'do is the ever-so-stylish-and-easy-to-maintain swing bob.  I made the appointment after tens of thousands of , "Brush your hair, no...do a good job brushing it...you need to take care of your hair or I'm going to have it chopped off!...be still while I comb it!...It wouldn't hurt if you kept STILL!...Quit whining!"

Isn't she a beauty?
and Aaron got a short textured haircut that he can take care of himself too. 
What a handsome boy you are...

I  know Heavenly Father has a plan for us even if I don't understand what that plan is.  You're so loved and there's a lot of us who are missing you girls an aweful lot right now.  You've changed my life and you've taught me to appreciate so many things, and I'm still learning from watching your mom and dad.  Your mom and dad are such good examples to me in so many ways.  I love your family and it's going to be hard for me to watch them miss you so much.  We love you.

Our baby girls

Abbygail - 3 months old

Baylee - 9 months old

I'm having fun dressing up two baby girls with dresses, bracelets, and hairbows.  I haven't been able to dress little girls alike until now and I'm loving it.  The girls are just 6 months apart and we get lots of weird looks when we go out into public.  One of the first questions people ask us is "How far apart are they?" and then we watch as they try to figure out the math in their heads.
