Ten {pictures} on Tuesday

Blogged from and all shot from my trusty little iPhone.  Although the quality is just so-so, I'm glad to have them!

{first}

Lucy's first haircut happened on Wednesday at a sweet little shop in Annapolis called Pigtails and Crewcuts.  I had to pull out all the stops for this haircut; a fancy shop and I knew Mike had to be with us because I knew all too well that she was not going to be happy. 

This, my friends, is why this little girl needed a haircut.  See below.

This is what her hair looked like on Monday morning.

Ms. Carole cut her hair, she was just what we needed, sweet and patient.  They had fun, fancy chairs that you could sit in but Lucy chose to sit in Dada's lap.

 And her she is on Wednesday afternoon!

 And now today....so much better and healthy! (wearing a snow white dress)

 That's my girl.

Love her.

Home to Happy Valley

While the girls and I were away, Mike and Brady took a day trip to Penn State!  It was Brady's turn at school to bring home Mo the Monkey, the class pet.   We had Mo in the fall for pumkin picking and boat riding, this time Brady and Mo went snow tubing, went to a basektball game, met the Nittany Lion and paid tribute to our legend and hero, Joe Paterno! 

I know they had a fantastic time on their little Dada/Son trip.  These pictures make me want to get in the car and head home to Happy Valley.

Hope you are having a good week, it's almost Friday!

a trip home

On Thursday last week, Lucy, Macy and I packed up and went to Pittsburgh for a nice long weekend!  And lucky for us, snow was in the forecast!  Friday and Saturday were beautiful, snowy, cold days!!   Lucy was so excited she woke us all up early Friday morning with a proclamation that snow was on the street!  Annapolis has not been snow friendly this winter so needless to say, we were excited!

The shovel she is using belonged to my sister and I when we were very young.  Think mid/late 80's. 

Lucy and I took a walk in the woods.

Lots of watching the birds with Pop, this is a favorite activity when we are home.

 It was my sister's Birthday when we were home.....

27 candles!

Lots of special treats, like eating in the family room and root beer!

Oh and oreo cookies!

Macy's favorite activity!  She takes full advantage of three extra people who will read to her!

A hockey game for Laura and I!  Thanks to my parents for staying with the girls!!

And the drive home to Maryland, many of you saw this photo on Facebook, good times, good times.

Brady and Mike had 4 glorious days to themselves and took a special trip to Penn State, I will be back tomorrow with pictures from their time home in Happy Valley.
