Well, since I use this as more of my journal and less of a "for everyone"... (I doubt that more than 10 people ever really read this)... I've decided to try to post more often. I'm sorry to those that get this by email, and if you want me to take you off my email list, please let me know and I will. I just figure... I enjoy blogging so much and it's fun to read back through everything in the last two years and I'm so glad that I wrote down things from my kids, etc...
Today we played Candyland. I know... the box says 3+ on it, but when do I read boxes and Ada is my "game girl" anyways... we play Uno, Memory, Candyland, Mancala (though she doesn't quite get the rules on this one... but she asks for it all the time because of the marbles), and anything that I don't care if she gets distracted from or that Sammy might lose pieces from. She also likes to decorate Darby's room on the Disney Playhouse website and play one of those freebie games that they used to give out in cereal boxes... this one stars Nemo and was given to us by my parents. When we bought Candyland I had given her the option of that one or another one that said it was for 2+... Ada choose Candyland because of the Queen Frostine lady on the box... it's really funny because she was the reason that I liked that one growing up... hmmm. Is she a girl? Yesterday we went walking with our Haitian neighbor. I love her to death, but she makes me feel guilty sometimes that I'm not as open and giving as her. You have to be careful with compliments because she'll just give you whatever you just complimented... We helped them move in while Ada was only a couple months old and she considers herself a second mom to her. The only real "giving" we've done for them outside of church is giving them a loaf of Jer's homemade yummy bread. But she's given Ada toys, clothes and us fruit and me a skirt and shirt from her daughter's desiging line called Mikarose. She also made us a Haitian dinner (we did bring dessert to that one though). I think I'll have to do something special for her... but I don't know what. I tried to cut Sammy's hair. Nothing too drastic, but just enough so that he doesn't have a rats tail and you can see his ears. I'm starting to get okay with simple haircuts, but I'm definitely not a hairsylist...I'm thinking I'll have Mesh cut both my kids hair when she cuts mine. That'll be different for all of us, but I trust Mesh. It seems like everything she touches turns out cute. The big question will be my hair! AHH! Right now it's past my waist and I've had long hair for about 15 years... with a brief short hair cut while Janelle and I lived in Kenya... I'm fatter now and I'm not sure that short hair will look good on me... but it takes me almost 10 minutes to comb my hair out and all day for it to dry... not to mention the fact that Ada likes to comb it (ouch!) and that Sammy likes to yank on it. Oh well... we'll see what Mesh comes up with.

Past your waist?! Mine won't grow past my shoulders. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
how exciting! I want to see it!!! I mean of course I will but it will be exciting. you should totally cut it. when my hair is really long and i just find myself putting it in ponytails anyway, it's like it's already short, do you know what I mean? like if I look in the mirror I see a bit of hair pulled back tight. Not long pretty locks like the movie stars. ;o) My short cut I got after I had rocky was GREAT because it was fun and fast to do, and it had lots of volume. so fun! i love hair!!! you'll look great I'm sure!
