Poor kid.
Anyway, Will and I both noticed Lorien getting the short end of the stick over the last two weeks and decided she needed a little one-on-one time with Mom and Dad.
I decided to take Lorien for her first professional hair cut this morning. The woman who cut her hair (Kate, a friend from church) was so nice. I am sure Lorien enjoyed having someone ask "Oh are you OK, I am sorry I pulled your hair." or "How long do you want your bangs?" instead of hearing her Mother say "Hold still! This snarl is really big." or "I don't care if you want your hair down, it is going up!"
Kate did a beautiful job:
Before ***************************** After
Could this girl get any more beautiful? Even with her seriously jack-o-lanterned smile? She is stunning, I cry about it every other night.
I got a hair cut too, Before and After:
I know it is kind of hard to tell what my hair looked like in the "before" shot but that is the point--it did not matter what my hair looked like--I always wore it in a pony tail.
Daddy decided to take Lorien out on a special date. Lorien needed a couple pairs of pants for school and Will volunteered to take her shopping and out to dinner.
Going shopping is a monumental feat for Will. Remember when I told you he took all three kids camping one weekend while I stayed at home? Well, that was a piece of cake for him compared to shopping. He hates (HATES) shopping. I was worried but it was his choice.
If you cannot tell from the picture, they had a great time. (Also, if you cannot tell, she gets all her good looks from her Dad.) A super-gentleman, Will let Lorien choose the restaurant, the dessert place and her own clothes. Lorien wanted dinner from Fresh Choice and ice cream from Marble Slab. Lorien was all smiles and good-cheer when they got back.
I am pretty sure she had a really, really good day.

What a fun way to start my day, you are so entertaining! And look at your tummy!!! Still very small, but you actually look pregnant. I love your haircut and Loriens, you both look beautiful! Good luck with your last day of summer. It is only 6:02 there so I hope you are still sleeping away. It was great to see pictures and hear what you are up to!
Ok, I'm in tears now. Thanks. I'm not preggo though, so my excuse is that I miss you tons. Joel has been getting the same treatment as Lorien lately and I'm hoping new school and friends will help. Seeing your "after" photos opened the flood gates. It doesn't help that I just read your end of summer post, too and had been having the same thoughts about it being over today....yada yada yada. I'm worried that my kids are growing up too fast and that I'll miss them. Then they are running around screaming at each other and I go over my checklist of everything they have to learn before they can move out to see if they're ready, yet. So, such is life. But doggone it I need to get tissues again. Love you guys!
doesn't days like that...when you know how your kdis are growing up in to little people...well, it just makes you want to melt. cute new do!
