Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

This has probably been a long time coming,, I have been coveting a new fancy pants camera, I know, I am ashamed to admit it. Now with our big upcoming trip to China to finally hold Finn for the first time, the trip where I am purposely selfishly rerouting our travel for the soul purpose of a photo op of both of my girls on the Great Wall of China. I went over to my girlfriends house today and messed with her fancy pants camera for all of 7 minutes.. I was SOLD!  So I finally caved and my new camera should be here in 5-7 business days!  I am soooooo excited! 
What do I do with this child's hair? I am at a loss? It is usually hidden under a hat? April Fool's, I am already mourning the day that my kids don't get such a kick out of simple stuff like making and serving dirt cups for desert on April Fool's day.  They thought they were SO funny when they passed these puppies out.  We all "eeeewwwwe 'd and grrrooooosss'd" and pitched fits because they wanted us to eat dirt.  Mina was a bit freaked out and wouldn't eat it... Someday they are going to think their Mommy's sooo lame, but right now I am a rockstar because I let them eat pudding, cookies and gummy worms in the same sitting...Oh, if it could just stay this easy....Layer number one in the first suitcase.  I am savoring my packing because I know the more prepared I am for our trip the more my arms will ache to hold my precious daughter.  The only thing that keeps me sane is my outrageous To-Do list!

I'm so excited for you! I wish it was me going to get a sister for Jasmine, but in the meantime I will live vicariously through you. The hair? She's just so cute, who cares? Love, Monica

Amy, I have the same issues with hair for both my girls! Clip it to the side is all I can do. My camera died in China so now at some point, I'll be shopping for one I guess. What kind did you choose?

Ok, clearly it was Heather who sold you on the camera. I think I should give you both an intro lesson before you leave! You will love having an SLR!
