jackson edward is 8 lb. 4 oz. and 21″ long. that seems small to me… imagine that.
i have some pictures here.
and just because i can’t help but think about me all the time, i wanted to post this. : )
a picture of me with one of my favorite people… we both got our hair done on the same day.
little jackson edward paladin was born this afternoon at approx. 12:50.
he is perfect in every way — only the most adorable baby ever! he has reddish hair (well, the little he has is reddish) and he has pink (quite pink) skin.
i’ve kissed him and held him and decided that nothing in the world is better then having three babies. it’s simply delightful.
alrighty. you’ve asked and i always do what people ask of me, so here it is.
the “old” do:
and now, the “new” do:
the Lord has used these pictures to convict me. i think i’ll be remembering my retainers from now on.
a picture with some sisters.
i see that there are many varying opinions on my hair. many of you don’t want it cut and i don’t want to offend anyone by telling you this, but today it will be going. my hair will go to a good place — the office manager at Shapes and Colors wants to send it to “Locks of Love” and i’ll gladly hand over my hair to her if she wants to do that.
some of you don’t understand why i would want to cut my hair. i like to have fun with my hair. it’s been awhile since i did anything crazy with it and yesterday as i was looking at pictures of Winona Ryder i thought about how much i love short hair and now i have the opportunity to have it cut. don’t worry, my sister and i spent some time calculating how many years it will take for my hair to grow back to this length and we think it’ll be four years. what’s four years?
i know some of you are extremely disappointed after reading this. some of you may feel like your opinion doesn’t matter to me and that’s not true. i’m sorry, it was never my intention to come across like that.
forgive me.
i’m at my sister’s. we came over for dinner and to hang out for the evening. no baby so far — she’s thinking it’ll be here sometime this weekend.
so i decided to color my hair and now i’m thinking about cutting it. short. really short.
like back when i was thirteen. am i crazy?
today i took a walk. i actually walked yesterday as well. it was lovely then. i could see my mountains off in the distance. i decided long ago that i would never want to live in the mountains, but to be able to see them is wonderful.
i couldn’t see them today. it was overcast and rather lonesome out and all i could think was, “i miss him.” i would love to have him still here — i would love to talk to him again. we didn’t talk often, but every few months while we passed each other in the hall or bumped into each other at an event we’d stand (or sit) and talk for awhile. we would talk of our likes and dislikes, what we found miserable and what we loved, and of course, we would talk about my feet. we always talked about my feet — really we talked about how i disliked them and he would always ask, “why, if you don’t like them so much, do you insist on wearing sandals six months out of the year?” it’s not that i dislike my feet (they really are perfectly fine feet), but i do so like his mom’s feet, which he always thought was weird.
i had a dream the other night and he was there with us. it was so real that i woke up a bit confused. he was laughing at me (as he always was) and wondering when i had grown up (the last few times i saw him he always remarked on how old i had gotten). he had bought a new belt so gave me his promised old one with the big belt buckle. i simply adored him for it.
today i took a walk. and missed him so very much.
you always feel super cool when my dad likes your music. tonight as i sat at the kitchen table working on some english, i had my favorite song (as of the past few days) playing and my dad, who was cleaning his guns at the other end of the table, looked up and asked who it was. he then said, “i like this. i like the sound.”
yes! i knew my country music with annoying bush hating female singers was good. props for my chicks.
I wished I was stronger
I wished I was smarter
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won’t happen now
That won’t happen now
’cause everone’s singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
i am louissa sinclair and louissa sinclair is a steelers fan.
and i will admit that it’s because a certain boy joined the family a few years back.
but how can you not be a fan when you see them so excited after the victory?
so i’ll admit it. i have lots of favorite girls. in fact, if you are a girl and you’re under 16, then i probably think of you as one of my favorite girls.
here’s me with one of my girls.
and yes, it’a good home.
You are Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice!
You are intelligent and vivacious. You possess
an affectionate heart and a lively, playful
disposition which delights in anything
ridiculous. Thus, you cannot easily be
offended. You have pleasure in many things, but
particularly enjoy reading and taking walks in
the fresh air. Your only fault is your tendency
to judge people by their first impression.
Hence, you may have fallen in love, before you
have even notice it: ~It has been coming on so
gradually, that I hardly know when it began.~
Which Jane Austen heroine are you?
