Julia's first haircut

Well obviously by now we made it to Maine. Actually the trip went pretty well and we made good time. Relatively speaking since we were traveling with two toddlers. We got in on Monday and have been still been pretty busy. I got a new haircut on Tuesday and Julia got hers today. Her first haircut on Grampa's birthday. Guess we'll remember that date easy enough. She was SO GOOD! The girl that cut her used to do mine when I was little, maybe not Julia's age little, but I was pretty young when she first started doing hair. So it was great to be able to take Julia to her today. Julia and I had been talking for a few days about getting her haircut and she must have liked mine yesterday because she wanted hers "just like Mama's" we didn't take hers quite that short but we did take a few inches off and it's basically the same style. I think she's happy with it. She kept asking me this morning if I had been scared when they did mine, to which I of course replied "no" to, and she kept saying "Mama you don't have big hair anymore?" guess she thought it was "big" instead of "Long" lol. She can be so cute. She sat so still and did everything Lori asked her to do. I was so proud of her. We went out for lunch and ice cream afterwards as a special treat. And where was Devyn this whole time?? Why with Grammie and Grampa of course, so nice of them to keep her and give us a little one on one time with Julia.

When we got back to G and G's Rob and Ri were there! Gosh have they grown. So of course I had to have some pics of them playing with the girls. I love my nephews!! They are so good with my kids and so sweet. I miss them so much when we are so far away. Then we all (and by all I mean, G & G, 4 uncles, 2 aunts, 5 cousins and us) went out to dinner to our favorite pizza place up here for Grampa's birthday. It was great visiting with my brothers, teasing each other and the kids, and spending time together and would you believe I had my camera with me and forgot to take it in?? unbelievable I know but it was kind of nice not to think about it for a change and we'll all be together again this weekend so I'll be sure to get pics then.

We are having a great visit, that I know is going to end all too soon, and the girls are starting to adjust to each other better. We've got a long road to go but I can see progress already so I'm hopeful. I noticed today that Devyn has really started to follow Julia around a lot and wants her attention and I think that's a good sign, though Julia hasn't really noticed it yet. But when we went for her haircut she was so worried that we had left Devyn behind. So there's definitely something there. ;)

Not sure if I'll get a chance to post again soon or not, but I'll try. I still can't dropshots working on this computer, I'll try again on Ray's if I have my memory card reader with me. Maybe I'll have better luck that way. I'll let you know when I get it worked out and more pics and videos loaded. For now I have got to get some rest!!
