2007 was a very good year for music

 

 

thanksgiving at the heck house is always a feast to be remembered

 

2007 saw the end of the “ba” and diapers (except for nap & bedtime) thank you, m & m/mars, for your magic potty-training nuggets of goodness, skittles

we started gymnastics in 2007

as is customary in some cultures, the godfather (a.k.a. uncle rob) gave molly her first haircut

then the professional (thanks, jennifer!) stepped in to finish up

 

christmas ’07 / one little girl’s wish come true…

from our home to yours,

B BOBS HER HAIR…WELL, ALMOST 28 December 07

i had just gotten out of the shower today when i heard, “mommy, i have a decoration for you!”

“what is it?” i ask.

she comes walking into the bathroom carrying something.

“my hair!” she says as she presents me with a 4-inch lock of her lovely tresses.

as mother reminded me, i did the same thing when i was 4. the difference was that i held the scissors about a quarter of an inch from my scalp and cut my bangs off. at least b had the good sense to only cut a small bit from the right side of her head–it’s fairly easy to hide. i really hope that this is her first & last attempt at giving herself a new ‘do!
