A Big Day!

It's going to be a big day, and we are very excited about the happenings to come over the course of the afternoon...

First of all, our sweet Baby Weston is coming to Martin to visit... I'm not sure who's most excited... Granny, Grandmother and Granddad, me and Russ, or the big cousins, Lawson and Emmitt!!  You can count on pictures! ;)

Secondly, it's time for the "big" hair cut.  If you remember, back in May of 2011, I shared the plans my sister and I had made to donate our hair to Locks of Love, in honor of Sweet Hailey.  You can read about her journey here, here, and here.  The time has come, and although I am nervous about my new "look", I am excited about packaging up my locks and dropping them in the mail in the hope of boosting the self-esteem and confidence of a little girl or boy as they travel the journey of chemotherapy or another illness resulting in the loss of their hair.  As Amber cuts my 10 1/2 inches today, I will be thinking and remembering that sweet little girl, Hailey Ann, as she is now a beautiful angel in Heaven.

If you're wondering about my sister, Julie Anne, she will continue growing her hair as she lacks about 3-4 inches.  She looks so pretty... I love when she wears it curly!  :)  I will also keep you posted on the donation of her locks.  And you can count on pictures from today!!

And lastly, I am excited about the fact that our house is slowly coming together.  FINALLY.  The light is at the end of the tunnel.  Tomorrow will officially be the last day of my stay-home-mom career as next week Lawson begins school full-time, and Emmitt will be cared for by various girls over the next 11 days as he awaits for his "spot" at The Children's Center, {which he remains adamant that he is NOT going to school}.  I will begin working at school, and attending various inservices next week.  A huge adjustment is on its way to our house!

That's all... although my head is full of swimming thoughts that are overwhelming, we are excited and thankful for the many opportunities for our family in the coming weeks.  Lots will be happening and lots of pictures will be shared.  Have a great rest of the week, and an enjoyable weekend!
