once upon an Easter...

.... my kids all looked really cute. And I took a bunch of pictures. And then I never blogged about Easter, so the cute pictures of my cute kids simply sat in my camera, gathering a thick layer of digital dust and virtual cobwebs.

But it's never too late to blog about something, right?
Right.
(does anyone even still read my blog? or have you all given up on me? I mean, it's been since May 20 that I wrote something. I wouldn't blame you if you'd abandoned me. I sort of abandoned you. mutual abandonment. how awful.)

ahem. Here are those pictures, for memory's sake.

once upon an Easter uncle Elijah and Aunt Lindsey also came to visit!
They are some of our very favorite visitors.

I like this girl, too.

once upon an Easter, Bennett and his daddy took some awfully adorable pictures together.

And this? well, this about does me in.

Happy Easter!!
Wait.
I mean, Happy Independence Day!
The pictures from our fourth should be posted by Thanksgiving. Dream big, I always say!

before&after

Emma and I gave our long and flowing locks the old choppity-chop.

Miss Emma, before. Her hair was SO long... I must admit I was a bit sad to cut it off.


But, I simply love her cute new "grown-up" haircut! Miss Emma, after:


As for mine, it hadn't been REALLY cut in over four years and I knew it was time. I think this is the longest my hair had gotten since Jeremy and I were married! Before:

(this is my second-day beach hair, so, please don't judge the frizziness. hehe.)

It's taken a bit of getting used to, but I think I love my new hairstyle. It certainly is easier to deal with! After:


A new haircut is always fun, and makes one feel so fresh! And, as an added bonus, since we both cut off so much, we were able to donate it to Locks of Love. Win win win, I say!
