EASTER

How about this girls hair? It has literally never been cut, so the sweet curls on the end....that's the hair she was born with three and a half years ago. Crazy?!

While I am all about a short little cut for summer, Carson and Cuyler are not on board. Cuyler loves long hair, especially on her and Carson is convinced that she will feel every strand that is trimmed. I, however, am the one taxed with the job of brushing that hair night and day (while Carson squeals/screams) in an attempt to keep it out of her face and food. In my opinion, that gives me veto power.......

Carson's first haircut will be in the near future. Until then it seems like a good idea to let it blow in the breeze and take lots of pictures. Hope you had as much fun as we did this past holiday weekend!

My Little Artist

Yesterday Carson and I spent the day at the High Museum of Art. I have been dying to see the exhibit Picasso to Warhol! I have been taking to Carson to art museums since she was itty bitty in Dallas, but I was especially to see her reaction to this collection!

About six months ago Carson selected an art book at the library that was similar to a text book. I didn't expect her to be interested in a book that had so much text in it. Needless to say we renewed it several times, at her request, and finally returned it just before Christmas. I replaced it with a great Children's Book of Art of her own and she has been excited to look through it together and talk about the different types of art and sculpture, specifically the Modern and Pop Art. I knew it was time to finally venture down to the exhibit.

The second we stepped off the elevator she was in front of an beautiful Picasso.........she stood perfectly still and took it in. It was amazing! She actually sat down in front a Jackson Pollok, and stared.

I am so thankful that Carson has such an interest in art! On the way out she insisted on buying a Modern Art Masterpieces color book and an Andy Warhol sticker book. I am so proud of my little artist!

Have a great weekend!

My Christmas Ballerina

Just wanted to share a few of the photos that I am using as gift tags this year.

Here is my sweet little ballerina. Hope you have a great weekend!

My Mickey

I love making things for Carson!

It makes me feel really good that she gets to wear things, a few times a year, that are truly one of a kind!

I know that when she gets a little older she will probably HATE my homemade creations, but for now she thinks they're great, and that makes me feel amazing and proud!

PS. What about that good looking cowboy in the last shot? He was wearing that hat when he got my telephone number ten years ago..........hot stuff, right?!

My Sweet Carson

She is growing so fast!

Just wanted to share some of her latest adventures, enjoy!
