Locks of Love, LLL and photos!

Today was the big day! Ive been talking about donating my hair to locks of love for a while now....I finally called the salon this morning thinking it would take weeks before they could get me in only to find out they had a cancellation for today! I anxiously went. I thought by the time it was over I might end up with a pixie cut but I knew I was done with long hair for the time being and I needed a fresh look. Besides, its for a good cause right?

I was able to donate 11 inches of my hair. Then I lost a few more getting my current style. Here are the before/after pics:

Not to shabby. Im definitely going to be saving in shampoo! Afterwards I went home and got the kids and we went to Melanies house to play for a while. They had a great time and they just LOVE her backyard. Here are some photos from that as well:

The babies got their varicella & hepatitis A vaccines yesterday. So far they haven't had any reactions. As far as development, they are doing fantastic. Curt & I counted up the words they can say, and so far they have 17!!! They also sign for about 5 others. Everetts doing well for height/weight, Macey on the other hand isn't even on the weight chart. I guess shes taking after her mama! None the less, both babies are healthy, happy & thriving.

Last tidbit of news is that as of June 6th I am officially an accredited La Leche League Leader. Tomorrow will be the first meeting I attend in "leader status". Next month, the main leader, Mary, will be out of town so I will by flying solo for the 1st time. Good thing I have a month to prepare. The local WIC office has also gractiously agreed to let me get some volunteer hours in there as a breastfeeding peer counselor. Im well on my way to becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I just have to complete my 1000 hours before I plan to test which is in 2011.

Thats all for now! Im off to enjoy some quiet time before I head to bed. take care!
