She Talked Me Into It

Just had to share a couple of pictures.
Maggie really really really wanted to cut her hair short...she has actually been asking me to let her do it for some time now...but I LOVE her hair long. So, here is a picture of her beautiful long hair.Well...we went to Medford over the weekend and she finally talked us into it. Of course, having short hair had NOTHING to do with her good friend Riley cutting her hair short (of course not.) Here is a picture of the back:

She looks adorable with this cut... I like it better than the last time we cut her hair short...the last time we gave her bangs, which did not work out so hot because she has a natural part in her hair that goes all the way down the front...so basically, her bangs had a part too, so I told them to keep her bangs long and this is what we got. SHE LOVES IT!!! I am still having a hard time with the short hair, but again...she does look so cute with this style. She wanted shorter, this is as short as I would let her go though.

Anyway.....I am sure I will blog again soon...just too much going on today, but I wanted to share the pics of Maggie's haircut.

Have a wonderfully blessed day.

FINALLY HOME...at least till this weekend, so I thought I would pop this in.

For Today...July 20

Outside my window... I see my American Flag blowing in the wind...I LOVE IT!!

I am thinking... of how very little time I have left today to clean before people come over for bible study, yet, here I am, blogging

From the learning rooms... my own personal learning room...say kinder things to myself, about myself.

I am thankful for... A loving family, and the fact that I did not catch the sickness floating around my sisters house when I was just there for 10 days.

From the kitchen...tea is brewing, lots of veggies for us to munch on...although, I am a chocoholic....sooooo, I think I need to stock the kitchen with some chocolate too.

I am wearing... Jeans, my American Flag tank top, black sweater and flip flops

I am reading... still....no time for reading

I am hoping... all my wonderful friends that I love and miss are all doing wonderfully

I am creating... uhhhh...still not the most creative person, although my sister and the kids and I DID fabric paint some nice canvas bags just for fun.

I am praying... for tooo many loved ones who need Jesus...I wish they would all surrender to HIM.

Around the house... some sweepin and moppin to be done, other than that, I am calling it good.

One of my favorite things... my children...they can be sooo sweet.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Bible study, redwood creek, bible study again, and the climax of my week....MEDFORD and seeing all my AWESOME friends!!!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...



I cannot get over how fast my "baby" is growing.

OK...SO I HAD TO POST MORE LEA PICS

I got to go visit her on Monday and take these pictures while she slept so well. She is so cute and cuddly!! We are all so blessed to have her in our lives!!

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Lea: Part 2

Ok, here are a couple more pictures of the newest member of the Jackson Family!!
Her Name is Lea (I believe Renee is going to be her middle name)
She was born 8lbs 4oz, and was 20 3/4 inches long. We took the kids to go see her last night, and here are a couple of pictures we got.
