much ado or is it much to do???

Regardless, I have much to do. Definitely been a bad blogger. But you guys love me just because I'm me and not because of my blogging skills I'm sure. Any who. Been reading about The Nielson Family. A very heart wretching story. I won't go into too many details, but it's a man and woman that were in a small plane crash. She has a blog that people would frequent and that's how the word got out. They are in a burn treatment facility in Arizona. They also have 4 children that are staying with family. Click on the link and you can find our more about them or even donate to their recovery.



It continually amazes me that the Internet is such a powerful tool/format/monster. You have people around the world pulling for this family that they have never met. Maybe it's not the Internet that amazes me as much as it is the kindness of total strangers. It gives me hope that in this crazy mixed up world of ours that there are many, many, many people with kind hearts that are not only pulling/praying for you, but also going one step further and actually doing something tangible to help. So awesome.



So I'm going to make a little request. I want to ask anyone and everyone that reads this blog (I know all 2 of you) to just tell someone about their plight. Donate if you can. But at the very least tell someone about them. And pray for them if you are so inclined. Ah, the miracle of prayer.



Okay, off my soapbox. And on to some photos. So what are you in the mood for? Humor, transformation, transvestite??? Well, we have them all!!! First up on our photo parade is a combination of humor and transvestite-ness. I know that's not a word, but you get the drift.




Ah, my little imp. He DEFINITELY marches to the beat of his own drum. And might I add very loudly too! I truly hope he doesn't have issues later in life. He wants to do everything his sister does. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.


And now the sweet transformation photos. My baby got his first haircut about a month ago. It's not like I was super attached to his locks, but we were really just waiting until the front of his hair needed a haircut too.

The "Before" photo. Awwww, my sweet baby.

And a series of "the work in progress"...


Okay, I have to tell you that this picture cracks me up. His little feet sticking out from the cape look like strange arms to me. Yes, I know I have issues.


I get this face alot...

And the "After" photos...HELLO!!!! Where did my baby go? Who ran out the door with him? Oh, there he is...

Are you sure? I'm not totally convinced... Sara told me yesterday that she likes his long hair better. Me too girl.

A very long winded post, but sometimes I just have a lot to say. Okay, I usually have a lot to say. But only if I know you because I'm kinda shy. I know shocking. Any who. Have a superb weekend. Peace out people.
