Pony Tails

OK, so I have to admit, I always ridiculed the pebbles look, as I call it, on little girls.  I claimed I would never let my little girl wear her hair that way.  Well, this is one time, in a long list of times, that I am eating my words.  Yesterday, Eryn was at our house and I was fixing her hair.  While I fixed her hair she made Kylie a pony tail and I have to admit that I adored it!  I thought it was so funny.  Kylie loved it and this morning when I was getting her ready she wanted a "pony."  She likes to shake her head and feel it move around.  We still probably won't have this look often but I did think it was a cute change and it made me look forward to when she has hair long enough to fix.

Me-ma's House (aka Grandma)

Last week Kylie and I went to Dothan with Nana to see my grandmother(my mom's mom) and my grandfather (my dad's dad), Kylie's great grandmother and grandfather.  She did GREAT on the ride to Dothan.  It is a 5 hour drive and we didn't even have to get her out of the car seat once!  She desperatly needed a diaper change when we got there but other than that it was great.  She is a great car rider.  It probably has something to do with the fact that she has had to deal with it since she was born.  We made two trips to Dothan before she was two months old.

While we were in Dothan we stayed busy.  We ran a lot of errands and shopped with my grandmother.  We went to a kid's store ,"That Store," to get Kylie some clothes.  I got her a cute Easter dress and some other summer clothes but I couldn't get everything I wanted because she is so hard to fit!  She is so tiny that everythign falls off of her.  I guess I am going to have to practice up on my sewing if I want to have cute outfits for her this summer. 

Kylie tried to say Grandma but it came out as Me-ma.  But now she asked every day or two where Me-ma is.  So cute!  Here is a picture of her with her Nana and Me-ma.  Three generations!  I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of the four of us together to get all the generations in there.  Oh well, we will see her again soon and maybe I'll remember to get a pic.

You don't know what you've got til it's gone!

I went to the eye doctor last monday for the first time in about six years.  I had not been to an eye doctor since I had eye surgery to correct my vision in 2004, so the visit was long over due.  Lately, I have noticed that my vision has been a little blurry and I thought I may need glasses again.  My suspision was right and now I have my first pair of glasses in six years.  I was really dissapointed that my vision changed after having lasik surgery.  Don't get me wrong, I don't regret the surgery, and as soon as we can save up the money I will have it again in a heart beat, but I really didn't know how good I had it until I had to go back to glasses.  I was almost legally blind before I had the surgery so after the surgery it was so great not to have to rely on glasses or contacts because before I couldn't do ANYTHING without them!  I couldn't even see the big E on the eye chart, not even close.  My vision is no where near that bad now so at least I have that going for me but I had hoped after surgery that it would be many years before I needed glasses.  Oh well, such is life.

Here are my new glasses!
