I told Lexi last night today was going to be a mommy/daughter day. Jason left for work & the NHL draft this morning. We had a haircut appointment for Lexi at 11:00 AM and I promised to take her swimming and for ice cream after (she REALLY did not want to get a haircut). We stayed at the pool for 1.5 hours, ate lunch there, ran a few errands, got her an ice cream cone and then had to come home to meet the plumber (we had a hot water heater leak). The plumber was only here for about 30 minutes. Lexi and I then fed the baby birds that have a nest in some low bushes by our driveway and made dinner for ourselves before bath time. During Lexi's bath she said, "Mom, you said it was going to be a mommy/daughter day today." I replied, "It was." Lexi said, "No, it was a mommy/daughter/plumber day!" Haha! Here are some "after" photos of Lexi's hair. The curls at the end were pretty much gone. I was nervous to cut them off in case they magically came back, but it looks so much healthier now!
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
