Who's That Kid?!

 Can you believe the change a simple haircut makes?  Look at Braewyn in my header picture with her beautiful flowing hair and now here with her new short do!  The day of her haircut I kept thinking she was someone other than my precious Braewyn.  Honestly though, she's been asking for a haircut for a while but Daddy loved it long!  She and I finally convinced him that her "get ready time" would be cut in half if we cut the hair.  He really likes being on time so that helped with the decision.  Also, it seems to have liberated her, just the chance the get the hairstyle she's wanted.  She seems more helpful and easy going.  A huge blessing to my heart!!

July 4th in Chattanooga

Last week, the five of us plus Grandma Ruth Ann traveled to Chattanooga, TN for a mini-vacation.  We arrived on Saturday, June 30th and returned home on Wednesday, July 4th.  I had been to this fun city years ago (before marrying Matthew) but remembered enough about it to want to go back.  With the temperature over 100 degrees that weekend, a few underground excursions sounded like a good idea.  Matthew researched the area on the web and found a great kids' museum and aquarium which would also provide inside fun.  Here are the best photos from our trip.  To see them all, you can check out my Facebook page.

And at the end of each day, we used up any left over energy at the hotel pool.  It was a great trip!
