Let's Play Catch Up...

Mom was sick last weekend with that flu/stomach thing that's going around, so pics got canceled for the 2nd time in a row. But we're scheduled to do them this Saturady after Caitlyn's birthday party. We're doing pics for RPM and personal family pics. I'll post some next week sometime.

So Caitlyn will be 2 years old this Sunday. I can't believe it!! Time goes by so dern fast. She's started talking and communicating quite well with her words, and I'm assuming it doesn't slow down any from here...lol...or from what I've been told. Someone told me once, "Once they start talking, they never shut up." I'm finding this to be a true statement. But Caitlyn's so precious when she sings. I'll sneek a peak around my shoulder in the car while we're riding, the music loud, she's back there swaying her head, moving her hands, and really emphasizing the words she singing...the most beautiful thing a mother can experience. I'm loving these new precious moments I've been experiencing with her. I saw myself in her for the first time last night. Just a glimpse of a look she gave me (not a bad one, just in passing), I was like, that's me...she does look like me afterall...lol

Things are so good for our family right now...of course I'm hesitant to say such, as something always goes wrong it seems, but I finally feel like we have a grip on everything now, our direction, our finances, it all. Its a nice easy-going feeling, and a relief to finally be able to breath after living on the edge for over a year now. I never thought we would pay off our debt so quick, and we haven't paid it all, but a lot of it is GONE! Yay!!

So we finally found a good hair stylist. We always enjoy going to HairWaves in Royston cause they do such a good job, but they're so expensive compared to our easier visit to Wal-mart's hair shop. But its been crazy the last few times we've gone to Wal-mart...they just can't get our hair right (we don't have the easiest 'hair-do's) and they don't seem to have been updated to the skill of texturizing. So anyway, we found out Sunday that the drummer's wife is a hair stylist. She so hooked us up after church. Shawn needed a cut so bad, and I mean REALLY bad. So she made us look good. She works at Great Clips as the assistant manager, and she's really awesome, plus its not expensive at all...from here on out - she graciously cut ours for free on Sunday : )

So I'm excited, Saturday is Caitlyn's birthday party. All her grandma's and papa's are coming and several close friends. It'll be fun and her cake is so precious. It's Barney-themed without Barney actually being on the cake. So its purple and green and just really cute. It's $4 more to put a little plastic Barney on the cake....whatever! I's like, just make it look like the cake, no plastic Barney thats gonna get chunked in the toybox as soon as we get home : )
