A Newgirl.......

The big cut....

Here she goes!! Almost there! Tada!!!!

13.5 Inches!!!!!

Today was the day!! Kamilla decided that it was time to cut her hair. Well, we decided together - we thought it would be a good move before school started. She knew she wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love. We are all very proud for her for this decision. Auntie Kim was very proud to guide Kamilla through this journey! It took 5 years for her to grow her hair, and less than 5 minutes to cut it! She's a new girl, and we'll miss her beautiful curly long hair, but we won't miss the daily fight over brushing her hair! Enjoy the picutres!

How does your garden grow?

We decided to have our hand at a garden this year. It's a small one, but it's been quite adventureous. Mom and Dad tended the garden while we were in Norway - in fact, the garden was their idea. So far, we have been able to enjoy peas, beans, and a few radishes. We had to replant our cucumbers once because they weren't growing, and we also had to replant our radishes since they went to seed too early. We would have enjoyed some nice plump tomatoes by now, but we have a tomato theif in our yard. Our dog, Chloe, likes to sneak into the garden while no one is looking and swipe the yellow/orange tomatoes! We are waiting very patiently to enjoy some BLTs!!

To Honor You

To Honor You
To honor you, I get up everyday and
take a breath
And start another day without you in it.
To honor you, I laugh and love with
those who knew your smile and the way
your eyes twinkled with mischief and
secret knowledge.
To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel,
hold nothing back, risk making a fool of myself,
and dance every dance.
You were my light, my heart, my gift of love
from the very highest source.
So everyday, I promise to make a
difference, share a smile, live, laugh,
and love.
Now I live for us both, So all I do, I do to
honor you.
