A Snowy Day

It started snowing yesterday afternoon and continued throughout the evening, so today we had a nice white blanket.  I took Kaden to the park across the street.  He hasn't seen snow yet, and his Grandma Debbie bought him a cute little snow suit that we decided to make use of.  We got all bundled up (though I don't think he quite knew what was going on) and headed out into the cold.  He fell instantly asleep, so I had to wake him back up for pictures!  He didn't mind too much.  He didn't even seem to mind the cold!

With his puffy snow suit on, he was big enough to go in the baby swings all by himself - he really liked it, though you can't tell from the picture...

After we had a little fun, my friend Miah took some pictures of Kaden and I together in the snow.

He was so cute!

I wish we had a saucer so I could pull him around - he loves activities!  Maybe he'll get one for Christmas...

The Mommy-Do

My friend, Casey, and I found out we were pregnant just weeks apart.  Her first question to me was:

"You're not gonna cut your hair, are you?"

I assured her that I was not.  She had seen too many friends trade their long, silky locks for the kid-friendly "Mommy-Do" and she did not want me to be next.  No worries, Case.  I love my hair.

Except that after Kaden was born, I didn't.

All of a sudden, I had a newborn demanding my attention at all times.  I couldn't shower at my leisure anymore.  If I did get to wash my hair, I barely had time to dry it - forget about the straightener or anything else.  The messy bun became my go-to look, everyday.  Now Kaden is three months old and he's starting to grab things.  Dangling toys, glasses, and, yes, hair.  I was just done with it.  It was too long, too thin, too annoying.  It had to go.

I have never had my hair cut in a salon ever.  I don't color my hair, I don't get it styled, and until recently, I didn't even know where a salon was located.  I was driving to Costco the other day though and I passed Moxie on Main Street.  The phone number was on the sign, so I grabbed my cell, dialed, and scheduled an appointment.  Casey my friend, the deed has been done.  And it's not awful, it's adorable.  :)

Your turn!
