Bangs...

***January has been fairly "un-busy" in the sense that we have not been running around doing a lot of different activities. However, in the last 14 days we have had one main thing on our agenda. My dear Nana is dying of Alzheimer's in her home and I have had what I consider the privilege of spending most of my time over the last couple of weeks with her and my family. While we're all heartbroken at the thought of losing her, we are delighted in the knowledge that she will soon be with the Lord, whom she loves so much. I will be posting more in a couple of days when I get some pictures and have the time to truly devote to a post worthy of her. In the meantime, please keep our family and Nana in your prayers as we wait with her and work to keep her as comfortable as possible.***

I do have to take a moment to show you all what my darling daughter did on Friday night while I was putting Luke to bed.

The best picture I got was with my cell phone.

That's right, folks! She CUT HER OWN BANGS! After I freaked out a bit and vowed to throw every pair of scissors we own away, I tried to fix the problem. Unfortunately, much like her mother, Kate has very thin hair so trying to cover this tragic mistake wasn't happening. Seriously, the hair along her hairline is less then 1/2 an inch short! We had no choice but to cut the rest of them off and pretend we were going for a vintage look...

My mom at about 3 years old & Kate after our attempt at being inspired by that 50's look.

I still can't believe it every time I look at her and we've tried many different styles to help. I'll be taking a trip to Target today to find some headbands and she will not miss one day of her dose of Vitamin D until those things are a decent length. I've heard many stories from other moms and the phrase, "Every kid does it." so I guess we'll just add a notch to our parenting belt and laugh about it. Hmmm...maybe we'll laugh about it later. ;)
