We gave Joel his first official hair cut Monday night. It mostly consisted of a trim all over. I've trimmed his hair on the sides and the long part in the back around the time he was 8 months old. This time we trimmed his bangs sides, top and a little off the back.
See the pictures below for comparison. The first one is after and the second one is before.

November 10th last year (2008)
We received a call from our facilitator...we hoped it would be THE CALL and it was.
A year already! I remember it as if it was just yesterday. I was out doing some consignment shopping for our future baby and felt one of my pangs of not being a mother, not having a baby and talked myself through that rough few moments. I vowed to myself that if after 9 months to 1 year of waiting there was nothing then that's when I'd allow myself to be sad, but now I was to remain hopeful. I walked in the door, checked our answering machine and there was a call from our facilitator about a birth mother who really liked our profile. She ran the situation by me and I called Josh and told him all about it. We agreed to proceed. We were very excited! Our facilitator said she'd get back to me in a day or two. I waited and 3 days went by, I figured BM was making her decision. I called our facilitator and asked her if BM had made her decision and she said oh yes, she had already the other day...OMG we were chosen!!! And from then on it's been a whirl wind of emotions.
Today 11-10-09 our son is napping in his room...the happiest little guy ever.
Looking back to that day, we had no idea that call would shape our future...
Thanks be to God!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to us :o)
Today we celebrated 3 years of marriage.
We had a great night out...to dinner at Bugaboo Creek (with some yummy Margaritas) then to Chunky's Cinema where we shared a molton chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and had coffees and of course then we watched a movie (Couples Retreat). We had lots of laughs and deep conversations!
Josh gave me a card this morning and I gave him one after he got home from work this afternoon.
I love my Hubby with all my heart :O) And our precious little son who stayed home with his Auntie Cindy...guess he got really mad after we said goodbye to him and left...he's got a bit of separation anxiety, but Auntie said he recouped pretty quickly and they had dinner and played. He was fast asleep when we got home and we went in to see him as soon as we got home...both of us stood over his crib and marveled at our little miracle. This was our first time going out to dinner without him.
Before we left for dinner, J called us to say hi. I told her we were getting ready to go out to celebrate our Anniversary and she wished us a Happy Anniversary. All is well with her!
Alright I've got to get to bed as JB and I have playgroup early in the morning.
