Hair

A couple of weeks ago Drew asked me if I would cut his hair because it was getting really long. This kind of surprised me because I have offered to do it before and he had always refused to let me cut his hair. Anyway I bought a clippers and cut his hair over the weekend. I wish I had taken a before and after picture because there was definitely a big difference. I think I took a couple of inches off at least. Though he said that it feels weird being so short he likes it over all. For anyone that is wondering he asked me to cut it as short as it is. I had asked him which attachment he wanted me to use.

Also Emma's hair has finally filled in enough so that I can put bows in her hair. For the most part she will not leave them in for very long but I will take what I can get. It only takes one swipe of her hand to get the bows back out because while her hair is filling in it is still really fine.

I tried to get her to take the kitchen utensils out of her mouth and she would not do it. Trying to get pictures of her keeps getting harder it seams.

Swim Lessons

Emma started Swim Lessons last Tuesday. We have them Tuesday and Thursday for 3 weeks. The idea was to get her a little bit more used to doing things in the water and to maybe help teach her a little bit of safety. Total there are 7 kids in the class ranging from 9 months to 2 years old.

For the most part on Tuesday she did not want to have anything to do with what we were trying to get her to do and I heard a lot of NO. Thursday she did a little better and actually jumped into the pool several times. There is a 2 year girl in the group and she and Emma were holding hands and jumping into the water together. It was so cute and I wish I could have gotten a picture of it. Hopefully she will continue to get more used to the water and will have fun with the remaining lessons.

Other then swim lessons not much has been going on. We had a quiet weekend so to speak at the house. Emma was fairly cranky and we have been fighting diaper rash for the last month or so. Not sure if she is working on teeth or what is going on.

Playing in a makeshift tent. I had take some of our dining room chairs and put some covers over them with the couch on the other side. Emma had a lot of fun playing in there but she kept pulling the covers down.

Special Visitor

Carla commented in the post below that I forgot to mention our special visitor to the campsites on Monday morning. Emma decided to play in the little tent that April and Chris had left when they left Sunday morning. She accidentally tipped the tent over and hiding behind it was a skunk. Thankfully the skunk ran under Donna and Aaron's camper and did not spray anyone or anything.

4th of July and Camping

Drew had to work this weekend and he was also wanting to watch the UFC fight on TV with some of his buddies so he stayed at the house while Emma and I headed down to Patoka Lake to join mom and dad camping for the weekend. I was not sure how Emma would do sleeping in the camper but she did great and we had a good time. I just wish it was not so hot.

We headed to Patoka on Saturday and stayed until Monday. Emma had a blast playing in the lake and playing outside all weekend and she was really tired by the time we left. Mom and Dads camping site was close to the front of the campgrounds and Emma was asleep before we got to the camping gatehouse. It was really nice being able to see some of the camping group and a few of the kids. Also they had a really nice fireworks display on Saturday night which thankfully did not wake Emma up.

Now we are back to the grind of working. Tonight is Emma's first swim class and they go for the next 3 weeks. I will try to get some pictures to post at one point in time.
