Cherry Blossom

The cherry blossoms have blossomed and it's a balmy 30 degrees!

Loves it:)

Happy 100th Post!

Can it be?!  100 posts already?!

And what better way to celebrate than featuring my hubby's new do!

After a two year long grow sess, mostly inspired by musician Dave Grohl's luscious mane... James decided, it was time.

Bu-bye hippy hair.

And so, The Beauty Parlour was paged and all the necessary arrangements made.

I call this: Dear In the Headlights
(pun intended)

James thought it fitting that at the exact moment of having his hair shampoo'd to be cut... a somewhat melancholy song could be overheard playing from the parlour speakers....  

    The kids getting their DS on while Daddy gets his hair did.

Those things sure do come in handy.

Aaron's exact comment "Dad!  You look younger!".

Rather handsome, I'd say.

Now about that beard........

Headpieces for sale!!

Kirsten's been hard at work making headpieces with the intention of selling them.  This is just one of the many she's crafted.  Styles vary from elegant bridal to Alice-in-Wonderland inspired.

Baby.Belly.

She is 33 weeks preggers.

At last, A Nice Day

I've been itching to get some better pics of Ava in her ballet gear and since yesterday finally brought some well deserved sunshine (opposite last week's blizzard- blech!)... we took advantage!  Ava was feeling particularily photogenic this day, therefor, I managed to get some pretty wicked photos of not only her, but Aaron too!

Ta Da!

Voila-- the finished product of the hair/make-up/photography workshop Kirsten attended and I was lucky enough to model for.  Kirsten's one crazy artistic cat and has a passion for creative flair. 

The bright and squirrely 'Before Shot'

(Trying to put on a straight face......... Ugh.)

After the 'Magic'.....

Hey Cupcake!

The Heavenly Cupcake Company has a new fan...... Me.

Highly recommending the Love My "B" Nanny (Banana Cream) and the Hawaiian 5-0 (Pineapple Coconut).  Really wanting to sample the Bubsy (Salted Caramel Brownie).


Never mind the flowers dear... now accepting cupcakes :)
