Locks of Love











Well, we finally decided to get Melanee's hair cut. It was somewhat of an agonizing decision, and I'm not sure everyone has forgiven me yet. But, we did it! 10 inches later, and some sweet child that needs it will be getting some of Melanee's hair. She decided to donate it to Locks of Love. All in all, I'm very happy with her decision. Her shorter hair is cute and quite a bit curlier than before. I guess having hair down to your bottom can weigh it down a bit. Plus, it was much easier getting ready for school this morning. Here are the pics we took to document the event!!

October - A Very Busy Month!

We had lots going on this past month. First of all, we had Bridgette and Kevin's wedding. Melanee was in charge of greeting guests and passing out programs. It was a beautiful ceremony at Friedens Church in Washington, TX and the reception was in Brenham.



Next, we took a trip to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire. That was great, but very hot and crowded. The kids had a great time picking out pumpkins, riding rides, and playing. However, we did wait in line the majority of the time! We were worn out, but it was worth it.



















Finally, we had Halloween and Homecoming on the same day. Melanee got to wear her first homecoming corsage to school. Then, the kids dressed up as pirates for Halloween (along with several others.) We went to the Fall Festival at the Waller Baptist Church and took a little hayride with friends. Then we went home to pass out candy to other trick-or-treaters. Even though it was very busy, this is still my favorite time of the year! It is especially fun to share with my kids!!
