Hope all of you had a great new years.  We sure did! You can read about our holiday in the  previous post.  Boy did we ever have a horrible storm.  We lost a portion of our fence, our potato plant tree in the front, possibly have lost our avocado tree (propped it up with ropes), a few tiles from our roof, and a huge limb from a tree in the front court.

It looked like a tornado had just passed through.  We lost our power for 24 hours which was really tough since it was 53 degrees that night and sleeping wasn’t very comfortable.  Jack slept with us that night so we could keep him warm.  I want to give thanks to Will, he helped me put up a temporary boundary for the girls and my neighbors dog Sandy.  This has kept the girls from crossing the border into Betty’s yard, and the yard next to hers since that fence went down also.  Although, yesterday, Sandy got risky and decided to go under it and see what our yard was like!!  Everyone really got excited then.   Annie didn’t know what to do with herself and the new playmate in her yard!!   After all of that excitement, we took Jack to get his first official hair cut!  He did so great!   I was so proud of him.  He wasn’t yelling and screaming like some of the other children there!!  Ha!!!  We took him to Kinder Cuts off Blossom Hill.  It was a pretty good place for kids since they have cars and things for kids to sit in and be pre-occupied while getting their haircut.  They also have a big screen TV playing the latest kids movie.   The lady cutting Jack’s hair was so quick with the scissors.  I now understand why!!  She has to be quick, although from what I saw, most of the kids were getting shaved cuts with the razor.    They also gave him a certificate for his first Haircut!!   Now we have a cute little man!   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the before and after pictures!!

Big transformation if you ask me!!

Well, I guess that’s all I have for now.  Jack has finished his medication for his ear infection and has a Dr’s visit this next Friday 1/18/08.   He has his one year check up in February.  Jack’s birthday is approaching quickly.  I can’t believe that he will be one year old on January 30th.  He has brought so much joy to us.   He cracks us up everyday because he is so busy walking around the house to see what he can get into!  He likes to say mommy and daddy and haye.  He also has his own vocabulary that only he can understand, but he likes to talk as much as possible.  He is a very curious boy who watches everything you do.

Well, I hope you all have a great week.  Signing off for now.

Oh, by the way.. there are new pictures in the photo gallery
