Happenings...

There is always something Happening when you have children.  This is what has been Happening at our house.

Jex lost his first tooth... we are on to those awkward phases that come with being kids and adolescents. Missing teeth, and then before you know it... Zits, Braces, and their own personal style. 

He still looks adorable.  It took about a week before he would trust me to pull it out.  I guess he figured it wasn't going to come on it's own.  I was able to get it out in one gentle tug.  He enjoyed having the tooth fairy come.  Big changes, BIG BIG Changes. He is growing up.

Now this next one might get me hurt. 

Disclaimer:Grandparents & aunts... she wanted to do this!! This was Not her crazy mothers idea. 

Stella has been asking me since I cut my hair off if we could cut hers.  It has been a long time coming, and I finally gave in.  She was so excited.  I think she looks adorable, and I feel it was a great change.  A much needed change.

Here is the Before and After:

Everyone has been pleased with the results.  Stella is in heaven.  Her classmates went crazy this morning.  Jonathan was a little hesitant about it, but once he saw how cute she looked he couldn't resist.  Our only sour note was Jex.  He was not happy, and even cried some.  He doesn't deal well with change.  I hope he can learn to love her anyway.  I told him,

"Girls sometimes need

a change, and that is

something you are

going to have to

learn to live with.

It would be better if

you learned it now."

As for me...

I am thankful for the

 Happenings.
