A very busy weekend

So, this past weekend was a busy one for us. It started with Brad coming home Friday night instead of Thursday night, like usual. Saturday morning I went and had my hair cut... and I mean cut! I've had long hair for... mmm, a very long time. Maybe a short do in elementary and I know I cut it short sometime around 2000. Who could forget that... what a mistake!!!! I've been nervous to cut it short ever since. Plus, I've always liked having long hair, thought I looked better with long hair and would always get complements on my long hair. But, at last... I cut it all off. I've always worn it up for work... so much so that when kids draw pictures of me they draw me with my hair in a "bun." Well, now that Lincoln's here and he's in the bed with us at night I wear my hair up 24/7... bad, very bad for the hair. I've been pulling handfuls of my hair out. So, off it went. I saved it and will send it to Locks of Love. You know, it didn't turn out too bad. THANK GOODNESS!!!!

After my hair cut Brad, Lincoln and I watched the Texas/ OU game. GO LONGHORNS!!!!!

Then, we went to visit our friends Michelle, Jimmy and Jadon. They just had their second baby boy... Torin. And, he's ADORABLE!! Michelle's amazing. She gave birth at home without any drugs. Everything was perfect. We couldn't be happier for them!! I can't wait for our little ones to get a little older and have play dates!!!!!



Sunday we went to the arboretum. The weather was great. And, everything was beautiful. They had tons of pumpkins... everywhere. We walked around enjoying nature. We took a few "first" fall photos. We'll definitely be spending more time there!







After the arboretum we met my parents out at their soon to be retirement house about an hour away. It's on a lake... yippie!!!! It's really coming along. They plan on moving at the beginning of November. We can't wait!!!




The first meal in the new house... hot dogs!



We're trying to stay warm... it's cool and windy out on the pier!


Daddy playing in the lake!



Poor baby... passed out in the car after his busy weekend!

So cute! Okay I had to laugh about the "big mistake" haircut. I have some lovely pictures of our "haircuts" with "bangs" Yours looked a WHOLE lot better than mine though! Your hair looks good and its NOT short! I am really excited for your parents too! How fun for them to be so close to you and a neat place to go to get away from it all!

Your hair looks great!

Did you say that your hair is falling out? It's very normal. Cut and paste this link.

Love the pictures. Babies just get cuter every day (how is that possible?)
