Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

1. I changed the title of our blog. After we had Braden, I've felt like "Little" doesn't really describe our family anymore. The church put out some commercials a few years ago that had this phrase at the end. I miss those commercials. They were pretty corny, but they spread a great message.

2. I changed my hair.

I cut off ten inches.

Kevin calls this the "MySpace shot". He says that most single young ladies on MySpace have a picture like this on their profile pages.

It feels nice to have short hair again, especially since it is falling out like crazy. My long hairs were getting all over everything. The short fallen-out hairs are a little harder to notice. And since I cut off ten inches, I was able to donate my ponytail to Locks of Love.

3. We've changed our house around a little.

This is what our front room downstairs used to look like most of the time. That mess would spread to the walkway in front of the front door, and it was the first thing our guests would see when they stopped by our house.

And this is what it looks like now. (cute new furniture courtesy of our neighbors the Carruths)

Kevin painted this room for me upstairs so that we could make it our new playroom. Now the toy mess stays upstairs, for the most part.

4. These are my friends from childhood, minus Julie. (We missed you Julie. I hope you are feeling better.) Believe it or not, the girls on both ends are sisters. About 20 years and 12 kids later we have all been through a lot of changes, but we got together today, and we still have a great time just like we did in the old days.

Thanks for getting this together, Rachel. It was so nice to see you guys.
