Unruly hair

I tried. I really did. I combed his hair with a part and everything. His hair is meant to be wavy.

Month of Millers

For the past month my sister and her son have been living with us. :) Except for visits to our brother's house for a couple days at a time, we had these wonderful people around:

The cousins really enjoyed getting to know each other. There were lots of smiles when they were together. We're so happy to have family around. Thanks for learning and growing with us during this month, K & B. I hope we're all better for having spent this time together.

Too cool

Too cool for Dad's glasses....

Lent observance failure

My attempt to abstain from dairy has miserably failed. I did well for about a week. Then I had to try the brie and chutney. Then Jared and I had a get away weekend, and I had to try the Greek & Moroccan restaurant. That of course includes feta. Then there was the day I was on my way home from a friend's and had a long drive ahead of me. What better treat than a free junior frosty to tide me over? I didn't even THINK about there being dairy in it until Jared pointed it out much later. Duh.

Unfortunately, the same unwanted consequences followed my eating dairy products. My belly aches, my bowels ache, my head aches, my ears and throat ache, and my poor baby aches. He spits up more when I eat dairy. I really need to learn self control.

So, I here confess my sins and deepest failure in my attempt to give up something that I know is harming my body. The good news is that I am more self aware. Duly noted: I suck at abstaining from dairy...
