Update

We have been happy but not very busy since I last posted, so here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately. Megan's hair is long enough to braid now and I love it! I must have braided a little to tight because her hair was pretty stiff.

We went from beautiful 70 degree weather to snow and below freezing. We're grateful to finally have moisture though so we've been content playing dress-up inside.

I apologize for the poor picture quality! My camera has not been the same since it went swimming in the bath tub several months ago. I hope to get a new one in the next couple of months, so if anyone has camera reccomendations, or a website to start my research I'm open to suggestions.
I had a baby shower for my sister-in-law a few weeks ago and it turned out so well! She got some really cute gifts and is mostly set for her baby to come in May. Here is a diaper cake I made for a table center piece. It's the first one I've made and I was pretty proud of it!

Meg is growing so big and more beautiful everyday! She has such a fun, independent personality.

We've also been busy with yardwork. A neighbor came over last weekend and helped us pull some very old, large, ugly shrubs out of our front yard.

Here are the shrubs before we pulled them out. It makes our yard look so much bigger! I don't have an after picture because it's still a mess, but once we have grass I will post a picture!

Gavin got a buzz haircut because...

He started the job himself! It's already growing back and doesn't look too bad anymore. Oh the joys of my wonderful children!

Oh, that is so funny! Megans hair is looking oh so cute and long. Gavin's hair is looking oh so handsome and SHORT! I can't believe he started it himself! WOW! :)

That's just the kind of busy you want to be -- happy busy. Megan's hairdo is adorable. Gavin I like your buzz!

Love the hair on both the kids! That is great! I'm glad I'm not the only mom to go through haircuts and braids that are too tight! That diaper cake is amazing by the way! Beautiful!

I know you don't have a camera, but I can't wait to see pics of your new bathroom!! Oh, and I'd love to hear more about Women's Conference from your perspective!

It was so fun to see you last weekend for a bit! Thanks again for the crib! --Jenny
