Red Letter Day

This is a day I have feared since finding out we were finally having a daughter. But, today I feel like Mommy Triumphant--I have managed to make a "do" in my daughter's hair. Her hair has been getting a lot longer and occasionally falling down her forehead into her eyes. So today I bit the bullet and went to WalMart and got some girly supplies. After much worrying and ado--here it is, the very first attempt at actually fixing Jillian's hair, and by some miracle it turned out cute!
We have just taken a great vacation with the Felt Parents. I will get the photos ready and posted as soon as I can. I've decided that if a zillion people didn't already live in California, I'd move there next week. We spend a wonderful, cool, temperate week in San Diego and a couple days in Anahiem and then came home to 100 degree weather. What a bummer!

Congrats on biting the bullet. Girl hair is a source of many of my nightmares. Especially if it involves sponge curlers or any type of iron.

Jealous of your fun trip - can't wait to see the pictures.

Well done with the hair:) Sounds like you had a wonderful time in CA. I was also wishing I was back in Ca when it was over 100 this last weekend.

Good job! I had the same worry as you about not being able to do my girls' hair. It looks great, and what a cute girl you have!

You did it! It can be scary at first but before you know it you will be practicing the braiding on her hair. It took me three girls to get really good at it.
