She got about seven inches cut off! We're so excited for her shorter hair for the hot, Texas summer. Isn't she gorgeous (and looking all "grown up")?

"Tangled" No More
We had our very own Rapunzel in our family. Anna had only gotten one partial haircut in her whole 4 1/2 years, and it was high time to chop her golden locks. She loved her long hair, but the maintenance was too much. We took "before" and "after" shots so you could get the full effect.

Houston, we have a crawler!
It's official. Josh is crawling! It's still a slow, wobbly little crawl, but it's so much fun to watch him act so determined and patient when he's trying to get somewhere.
Now we just have to remember how to baby-proof a house. . .

Flight of the Bumblebee
First movement: Adagio
(Early afternoon, after first being noticed)
Second movement: Allegro (After being sprayed with bug killer)
Finale: Ritardando, Diminuendo
All I have to say is, WHAT THE HECK?! I first noticed them around 11:30 a.m., but it was insane by the time Larkin got home from work. I know bees are good for the environment, pollenation, blah blah blah, but they are NOT good for my family in that quantity! We tried calling pest control to get someone else to take care of it, but no one returned our calls until local offices were closed for the evening. Yes, we could have left them alone.
However.
When they swarmed and stung our neighbor two doors down from us and there were that many of them, I could not sleep at night knowing they were just still multiplying.
I never really cared one way or the other about bees, but after yesterday, it is official. Bees creep me out.
After a lot of discussion and thinking over the possibilites, Larkin and I think we found what attracted the bees in the first place.
Wouldn't you want to be close that sweet little bee?

Being Taught by the "Missionaries"
Most days I wonder if I'm doing what I should as a mother. Then I have days like today.
And then I got a lesson.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: We have the BEST children in the world. They came to us like this; our job is to continue to teach them and be willing to be taught by them. Days like today let me know that we must be doing something right.
