First Real Haircut

We've been keeping her bangs out of her eyes, but this was the first time we cut the rest of her hair. It was getting long, but was very thin on the bottom. This made it curl up on the ends and it looked skraggly.

Fixing it meant cutting almost two inches off the few long strands in the middle and only a quarter inch or so around the sides. This seemed simple enough until I tried to start cutting and Hannah wouldn't sit still in the tub.

Anyway, I had to even out a few spots the next day, but we think it turened out very cute. The true test will be to see if it grows in the way I wanted it to.

Fall Leaves

The leaves have finally changed and started to fall and you know what that means - jumping in a huge pile of leaves! Of course, Hannah didn't have to do any of the raking before hand, but her time will come.

Aunt Juls came to visit and the weather was unseasonably warm; a perfect combination for back yard fun. Of course, all everyone else is interested in is comparing the color of Hannah's hair to the color of the leaves.

After being tossed a few times into a 5' high pile of leaves, it was time for a walk. She loves to collect leaves from the roadside piles in other people's front yards. I don't know how she decides which ones to bring home, but she takes her time to find one that's just right. Then we headed back for some cold apple cider, left over Halloween candy and a Steelers' game.
