First Hair Cut

So as many of you know we finally gave Brayden his 1st haircut last Friday night. Lori was coming over to our house to do hair and so we asked her if she could also cut Brayden's. For Daniel's birthday he asked if one of his presents could be getting his son's haircut. So I decided to finally give in. I know his hair was long and it looked like a mess most days, but there was something about his curls and long hair that kept him looking like a "little" boy to me and I wasn't ready to give that up.

We now have a "big" boy! Lori did a good job and I am glad we did it.
I am finally getting use to it after a week!

New Vehicle - SUV or Mini Van

Yes I know I don't post that often but I wanted to ask a question to anyone who does have any insight on this topic.

Daniel and I knew we would probably be buying a new (used) vehicle sometime this year. With another little one on the way and our cars that we have now just being old and having issues we figured the time would probably come sometime in 2009. But we may end up buying one sooner than we thought.

So my questions to are...

SUV vs. Mini Van? pros and/or cons of both?

And if you have one or the other do you like? good gas mileage?

We are looking if we get an SUV for it to have a 3rd row anticipating wanting more kids in the future (well at least I do) :) but we are open to whatever.

This will be a hard decision for us because neither of us like spending lots of money at one time. We struggle making big decisions like this, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions - leave us a comment! We would appreciate it!

100 Days To Go


Well here we are already 56 days later from when I posted this....

Time goes by so fast. I am trying to stop everyday and enjoy being pregnant. I am trying to not take it for granted but enjoy the little movements, kicks, and elbows he does inside of me. So far things are going well. I only have 1 week of school, 3 weeks of track out, and then 9 more weeks to go and I am done with teaching for awhile. It is bitter sweet! Just as I am finishing up this chapter of teaching in my life for now (I am sure I will go back someday) I will be having another baby boy around the same time. So hopefully it will be a good transition for our family!
