a big decision

Today, we had a big decision....actually, Emma made this decision about 2 years ago, and I am the one who needed to decide if it was ok. Emma has been bugging for a long time now to get bangs....and I finally gave in! She has promised me she will let me straighten her hair if it needs it, so I finally made the appointment and let her get bangs! I am so proud of her for taking a chance. She knew what she wanted and didn't stop until she got it! I hope that is a character trait she keeps! She is just as beautiful in the after shot as she was in the before picture taken this morning. (And she is looking so grown up in both pictures!)

...and my roller boy

Some photos of my show off hubby roller blading with the girls....







...ain't he cute?

roller girls

As you know Abigail got roller blades for her birthday and Emma bought some with her birthday money...they LOVE skating around on them! I took these a couple of weeks ago...before the temperature dropped and it started raining almost constantly. They get better each time they go out on them....maybe it's time to replace the ones I bought almost 20 years ago and join them!
