Quick Update-

I am in love with my children. I think it is safe to say that I am completely whooped. My family brings me insane amounts of joy. Aside from the fact that I married the perfect man- who completely rocks my world. I have two of the cutest little monsters that ever graced the Earth. Kennedy was so funny last night. We bought her a cabbage patch doll to talk more about adoption and taking care of a new baby and whatnot. We talked about how special the baby was because Kennedy could "adopt" her and how adoption is forever. Then later on that night Kennedy was "feeding" the doll- and I said "Kenna- what makes that baby a SPECIAL baby?..." and Kenna says, "Because she has lots of yarn in her hair like me!...oh- and she's adopted."..... Oh...oh yeah! Adopted...but the yarn hair is the cool part.....HA! Too funny.
Elijah is getting bigger by the second. He is starting to wake up a little bit more and more each day and we are starting to get to see his little personality more often. I can't wait for those first little grins and coos. Just try and tell me that just looking at him doesn't make you want to snuggle him!

Aside from all of the exhaustion of no sleep- while entertaining a three year old we had "hair" adventures this week. Kennedy got ahold of a pair of scissors and decided to go to town on her hair. AHH!!! I love that little girl more than anything--but after spending 10 hours braiding those braids in...and walking in the room seeing her little mullet... I wanted to die. BUT! It all turned out good in the end. I took the opportunity of having to braid sooner than I thought- and called up the amazing Kristin. (Who in my mind is supermom.) She also has adopted children and took it upon herself to learn how to care for their hair- and learn different styles- and she is so gracious and wonderful to share her talents with the likes of me...who has no idea what I am doing most of the time. ANYHOW- to make a long story short- I went over to her house for a couple of hours- and received some instructions and now my beautiful little girl has a new 'do. I LOVE the curls. I think it is so sweet and feminine. Kennedy also loves it- and is always shaking her head to make the curls bounce. It is really delightful. I love learning new things that I can do for her hair. And- as my first attempt at curly hair... I don't think it turned out half bad. (Makes me wish I could get away with doing it to my hair.) This picture is Kenna's hair after taking out all of the braids and salvaging what was left of her hair after the scissors.

And TA DA!! The finished product! YAY for new hairdo's!!
