Bean and Livie donate their hair to locks of love.

Holy Freakin Cow! My babies are growing up too fast. Today I took Bean to donate her hair for the second time. Livbug, my sweet little baby girl, donated hers for the first time. It is a sign of becoming a big girl. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!Holy Freakin Cow! My babies are growing up too fast. Today I took Bean to donate her hair for the second time. Livbug, my sweet little baby girl, donated hers for the first time. It is a sign of becoming a big girl. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am such a proud mommy. Oh, how sweet they look!

Livie Loves the way her hair looks. She kept giggling during her hair cut, because she said the Hair Stylist was tickling her. When we got home though she said she wanted her big hair back. I had to explain to her that what she was doing was a good thing, and I was so proud of her. She was asking how the kids that don't have hair would wear hers. Trying to explain to a 3 year old about making wigs is a hard thing.

I love Beanie's hair short. It just sort of shapes her face and shows off those big beautiful eyes. She has they type of eyes that a person can look at and see all the love she has in her heart, and you just can't help but fall in love with her. This was her second time to donate, so she did very good at sitting still. Willa asked me on the way home if she could give her hair to a little girl whos parents shaved her head because of lice. I had to tell her that the hair has to made into a wig, and that other little girls hair would grow back. She has more love in her heart, than anyone I have ever met. How did I get so lucky? God has really blessed me!

Livie was shocked when she saw all her hair cut off. LOL While the Son was cuting her hair, Live kept saying she wanted to look in the mirror. When she did, she said "Hey! Where'd my hair go? I Yikes my hair yittle" She talks so funny. I think she looks so cute, but I hate it cuz she looks older. I almost lost it. I wanted to cry. Livie is my baby, and by having hair long enough to donate, it is sign she is growing up. It was hard with the other two, but not this hard because they were big girls, and I always had a little baby. Now my little baby has turned into a big girl.

Mack's 8th birthday

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl. You are growing up so fast! Where did time go? Well, I can say this was the best 8 years of my life. I wouldn't change it for anything.

For Mack's Birthday we spent it in New Jersey, with her Mimi, and we did another small birthday here at the house with Josh. It was a great day. Daddy let the girls help make the cake, and he made dinner, the one she wanted. It was chicken fingers, mashed potatoes, and ravioli. LOL Kids are so funny. The simplest of things make them happy. She got some wonderful gifts, but her favorite 2 was her BunnyBoo that Mimi got her from Build-A-Bear, and her Bratz Twinz the Aunt Susan got her. But she loved all her gifts. We thank everyone for the presents. We love all of our family, and we know how much they love us.


Oh, to be a kid again opening presents. The excitement of my girls brings so much joy to my heart. I just wish we were home to share it with everyone at our big birthday bashes we use to have. Soon we will be home, and it will be time to celebrate.

The girls and I miss you all, and love you. Take care.

Love always,

Elisa, Mack, Bean, and Livie

New Years eve was Macks 8th birthday. What a wonderful time we had in jersey, and New York City.

The girls and I needed a break from everyday life, so we hopped in the car and it was off to New Jersey, and New York. It was so nice we stayed with Mimi, the girls grandma. While we were there, we got to meet more family that we haven't yet met. We even go to meet a cousin named Leann, who is Willa's age, but looks exactly like Mackenzie, with the exception of the curly hair. The girls auntie's played with the girls, and even taught them Trinada songs, and even turned them on to some of their favorite foods. Beleive it or not, I even tried some. It wasn't for me, but atleast I can say I tried it. I even tried Ginger Beer. YUK! That stuff burned my mouth and throat. The girls seemed to really like some of the foods. Oh, how wonderful it was actually spending time with family. Christmas was good, but so freakin lonely. Minsky's family is so nice. They accept all of us as family, which make life so great. And the love they show towards all 3 of my girls, overwhelms me with joy. It is crazy how life goes, but having the unconditional love makes it all worth it. I really got lucky, my girls have som many people that love them, and wonderful grandparents in all our families. Anyways, during our visit Brenda and I took the girls to NYC to go Ice Skating in Rockefeller Center, but it was way to crowded, so instead Mimi(Brenda) and I took them to Build-A-Bear, and she treated them to a new animal. We had so much fun. Then on New Years Eve, Mack's 8th birthday, I took them to see The Tale Of Despereaux. When we got home Mimi suprised us with a cake for Mack, New Years party hats, and noise makers, and a tray of yummy treats. We had so much fun. I can't wait for our next trip. So my thanks goes out for Mimi, Auntie June, Auntie Verve, Auntie Billy, and Auntie Dol. Your family is wonderful. Well, I wish everyone a great year.

We love you all,

Elisa, Mack, Bean, and Livbug.
