My Baby's 1st Haircut








I have been wanting to take Savannah to get her haircut for awhile now. I was torn between keeping her hair long or having her hair cut to the same length. I took Frankie to get his hair cut tonight and Savannah showed interest in getting her hair cut also so I gave in. The hairstylist took off about 2 inches off of my baby's hair. Savannah did such a great job! She sat still with very little movement. Savannah was pleased with her new haircut. I think she still misses her long hair but it will just have to grow back. Daddy probably won't be happy with me for cutting her hair. Oops!!!

Ten for the Week

1. For Valentine's Day Frank ordered a dozen red long stemmed roses and had them delivered to my work. The flowers arrived late in the afternoon and were waiting for me when I came back from lunch. Several other people received flowers in the office. The flowers were so beautiful...Thanks hunny!

2. Frank and I both ended up working late on Valentines's Day. I stopped by the store on my way home and the flowers were all sold out. I just ended up getting a box of chocolates for my husband.

3. Frank and I went out to dinner Friday night to Texas De Brazil to celebrate Valentine's Day. We had a buy one get one free dinner coupon so it made it more affordable. It was nice and we had a long wait so we walked around the mall. We had the baby in tow and ended up doing a little shopping while we were there.

4. We ran into my old babysitter for Savannah and visited with them for a little bit. It was nice to see old friends from church.

5. Frankie went to the girl's basketball game on Friday night. His girlfriend plays on the sophmore team and he goes to hang out with Max.

6. On Saturday morning Frank dropped off the boys really early at the church and they played against a hard team. They ended up losing their game by only three points. Disappointing for the boys!

7. I had to go in for some overtime hours and than had to pick up the kids. Frankie's mom came to pick him up and Savannah and we baked some chocolate chip cookies together. We took a stroll to the park and I let her play for a little while. It was cold and we didn't stay long. I met a new woman and her son at the park. I have been trying to get to know my neighbors as much as possible.

8. Frank was working very late last night so Savannah and I spent a quite evening together.

9. Today we are going to church for an hour and than heading to Sheila's house for a family party. We are celebrating all the February parties today. Frankie just turned sixteen years old.

10. Just found out that mom and dad will be coming home earlier than expected...We can't wait to see them again!

Valentine's Day Cookies













Savannah was napping right after church so I made up the cookies myself and baked them. She was excited to decorate the cookies.

Ten for the Week

1. I'm typically at work on a Monday morning however Savannah was sick all weekend long with stomach flu. She is back to her normal self but Frank felt it would be best to keep her home just one more day to make sure she is no longer contagious. She puked on me twice and was running a low grade fever. She missed church yesterday and just spent quality time with mommy. It's no fun having a sick baby at home.

2. I attended a Pampered Chef party on Wednesday night. We purchased a slicer and enjoyed everyone's company there and all the yummy food. We didn't get home until late and I stayed behind to pick up the mess from the kids.

3. On Thursday night Frank had his emergency base shop meeting at his new office. We ordered pizza and Savannah and I got a tour of the new office.

4. Frank's current lease is ending on Jan 31st so he has been busy packing up and will be renting a moving truck tomorrow. We are still waiting to sign a new lease. We are hoping that we can just move in our furniture and than the lease would officially begin on March 1st. As part of the agreement they are doing a buildout to add additional office space. We are going to be getting the first three months free for a 5 year contract. The new office is right off the main tollway and will be in a more central location for everyone to come visit us. We have several people renting office space from us. The business has been booming lately. I'm so proud of Frank and all of his hard work and dedication to the business. It hasn't always been an easy road and continues to be a struggle. We just keep pushing forward and hopefully we will blessed with financial security.

5. Friday night Sarah's boyfriends dad dropped her off at home after his wrestling match. I was fortunate not to have to drive out to her mother's house. It was nice to just come home and get some things done.

6. Saturday morning I woke up and than two hours later Savannah started puking. I thought she was feeling better and ran a few errands with her after her three hour nap in the afternoon. Apparently she was still sick because she threw up the next morning right before church. I was going to keep her home anyways. Frankie gave a talk at church. Our friend Tom Higgins surprised Frank by showing up to church. He is co worker from WFG and sometimes comes to church with us. I'm not sure what his interest level is in the church. He surprised everyone!

7. On Saturday afternoon Frankie managed to jam the value that shuts off the water on the shower. He woke me up out of my sleep to help rescue him. I was worried if I pulled too hard that I would break off the handle. I think I have been watching too many movies...lol! Luckily Frankie's friend Max came over and forced back the handle and shutoff the water. I realized at that moment I better figure out where the shutoff value was on the house in case of an emergency. Last night we had a FHE home improvement addition. We discussed about what to do in case of an emerency and we walked through the house to better educate ourselves. I was surprised that the kids didn't know what to fully do in case of a fire. It was a good reminder for us all and now I know a little bit more myself.

8. Sarah was invited over to Grandma Delores house. Auntie Dawn picked her up and they made a pasta dish, canoli cake and one other type of cake. Frank started a diet and already lost 5 pounds. He re-lapsed this weekend. Apparently the cakes were too much of a temptation for him. Sarah has been wanting to learn how to cook some Italian foods and really enjoyed spending time with her family.

9. We are looking forward to filing our income taxes soon.

10. I'm excited only two more months of yucky winter!!!
