Going back to May, Brigit found a name not mentioned sister's markers and had a bit of fun...
A productive sewing weekend with just me, Mom, Auntie Lu, and sister Marsha. We all converged upon Fergus Falls and stayed at a hotel in one of their suites. With four people working on various sewing projects, there was thread everywhere! Of course the cleaning people got a big tip for cleaning that one up. This picture is only of the stuff that came home with me. It doesn't include the many pairs of shorts, shirts, headbands, quilts, etc., that went home with the other 3 ladies.
On to June - this month has been a plethora of "Mom, can I take a picture?" Here are a few samples...quite the shutter bugs!
Playing with friends....
We spent Father's day weekend at the lake with Tom and Carol (aka Grandpa and Grandma) and Lori and her kids. I think everyone was enjoying the s'mores. Brigit wasn't as interested in eating the chocolate and the crackers though. She managed to eat almost 1/2 a bag of marshmallows before anyone caught her.
And now for the most exciting news (to me anyway) - and, no, there are no more children on the way. I went in and donated my hair to Locks of Love. I've always been a little shy of the 10" requirement in the past because I was not quite daring enough to go short enough to do it. But, I found a stylist at Charisma that completely understands what to do with heavy, thick, curly hair - because her hair is the same way (thank you, April!). So, I put my trust in her and I have to say I am impressed. I ended up with two 1 inch thick pony tails that were each almost 12" long! I haven't had it this short since 6th grade. It is definitely a change, but it will grow again. Maybe I'll make it a habit every 2 or 3 years, who knows.

Whew!! Well, that should to it for now. I hope you enjoyed the update and I hope to make the future posts a little more frequent. (We'll see....)

Wow - what a month! I LOVE your hair. I would love to have mine that short, but Austin likes it long, so we'll see. We are excited to come out and see you all!
Marie,
I love your haircut! Short hair look so great on you!
Too funny about Brigit's marker collage on her arms, I loved how she said, "It looks beautiful". What a cutie!
Okay, more comments.... I totally colored all over my body when I was Brigit's age. Norma has tons of pictures. I thought it was so beautiful. What great times. :)
