Haircuts!

If there's one thing I can't stand as a Mom, it's hair being in my kids' eyes!! When the girls' hair started really growing I thought I would just let it all grow out and use barretts or whatever to pull it out of their eyes. Well, it's not working! Poor Hannah especially...only the hair on top of her head grows quickly so if I don't trim it she looks pretty bad! And I just love Savannah with bangs...I don't know. Just think it's cute. So here's a couple pictures of their newly cut hair. :) Savannah's bangs are a little shorter than I wanted them but she kept moving and I had to keep fixing it!!! Oh, the joys of motherhood!! I am just waiting for the day she gets ahold of the scissors and goes at it herself. I know it's coming!!





Today was a pretty good day for us. Even though the girls were up late they still woke up at dawn ready to go! I wish I had their energy sometimes!! Their sleeping schedule has really been messed up since Jeremy left, poor girls. I think it's partly too because they really do need to cut back on the nap. They will sleep for 2 hours and then they aren't tired until 10 pm. Silly me...I thought that didn't happen until they were like four!! (I know some of you are laughing at me, right??) I'm still trying to cope with them only taking ONE nap per day...I'm not ready to give it up yet!! haha. :) Anyway...they had NO nap today and went to bed at 7:30. Hannah fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, little sweetie. She's my sleeper, that one. :) I actually had a chance to sit down and relax for the first night this week.

I talked to Jeremy a few times today. His "initiation" week is officially over and he's so excited about that! He had his uniform and room inspections this morning and they both went great. Then he had his fitness test and he had to do situps, push-ups, and he had to run 1.5 miles in 12 min. and 50 sec. He also did well on that and finished it with about half a minute to spare. He is so sore though, because they had a six-mile run earlier this week. Nothing like whippin' those poor guys into shape right off the bat! Now he's hanging out with his roommate tonight. They get along great and it's a huge answer to prayer because he was worried he might get someone younger who likes to party. But they have been doing pretty much everything in their spare time together. In fact, please pray for his roommate because he's having a tough weekend...his daughter turned 1 today and he missed it. He's pretty down - he misses her as you can imagine. Jeremy said he wanted to go bowling or something with him to help keep his mind off it. Jeremy has such a good heart...he's always thinking about other people. :)

Well, that's about it. We took a ride to Target tonight and the wind and rain were pretty bad. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny and clear like predicted! Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend...it's flying by!
