My kid has cuter hair than me

I am completely in love with this little girl, and with her love for the "cute" factor. She's been growing her hair out forever, in order to donate to Locks of Love, and today, she just couldn't take it anymore. I'm not sure we have a complete ten inches to donate, but I know that she is VERY happy with the "new" hair. It's sassy, isn't it? I caught her more than once this evening checking herself out in the mirror. There's a fine line between appreciation and vanity, and I'm pretty sure she spent the bulk of the evening on the vanity side of the fence. But I'm thrilled that she loves her cut and that not a single tear was shed on the first drastic haircut of her young life. And now that she has cuter hair than me, I'm thinking I might do the Locks of Love thing myself. Stay tuned for pics of that adventure.

I'd like to say that I'm great at keeping New Years' resolutions, but in truth, I've never made one that I actually kept (that I can recall). So I'm thinking that making them is kind of useless. However, the things that I would like to improve upon this year include blogging, photography, and the annual move toward overall fitness (physical, emotional and spiritual). That being said, I'm going to try to make this blogging thing happen at least twice a week. I'm shooting for Monday through Friday, so I'm thinking I might make a day or two each week. We'll see...

In random news, Brady is STILL obsessed with Diego. Will the madness never end? I am not kidding when I say that he breathes and dreams Diego. He LOVES him, and each and every conversation comes back to Diego eventually. For instance, as we're leaving the furniture store today, Blake and Sydney are asking to go to the mall. And Brady says, "Ooooo, can we go to the field journal store and get a Diego field journal with stickers about animals?" For the record, he asked for a field journal for Christmas, and Santa just couldn't find one anywhere. He thought about making one, but didn't have the time and energy to be that crafty. So you crafty people, if you want to make something for Brady's birthday that he will love for all eternity, figure out how to make him a darned field journal. Brady continues to be hilarious, yet maddening. Tonight, we were looking through his favorite animal book (which he is convinced is just like one Diego has), and he found a donkey. When asked what that donkey said, he replied, "KEE-honk, KEE-honk." Cute, right? Then Max reached over to turn the page and Brady screamed "NOOOOO MAX" and slammed the book on Max's fingers. Cute moment over. Screaming everywhere. Such is life with two toddlers.
