My hair

Mommy has started taking me to Ms. Carolyn at Jovance salon in order to get my hair braded.  I do it about once a month...and I LOVE it.  They tell me that lots of kids don't like going there....I just don't get it??  Who wouldn't love to go?  I always ask to put on my fanciest clothes (it must be a skirt and tights).  I want to look my best for the ladies.  Each time I go there are about 20 ladies in there who spend the hours that I'm there showering me with oohs and aaahs....treats and cuddles.  Each time I twirl it is as if no one has ever seen such a perfect twirl in their whole lives.  I LOVE it!!!  I eat it up.  I would go there every day and let them tug and pull on my hair for hours on end....

Here is Ms. Carolyn getting started.

And, here, is the finished project!

New Year....NEW ADVENTURES!!

We started 2012 off right!  Mommy, Akira, myself and Katy went away for our own family vacation.  Mommy believes in starting off the new year in the way that you want the year to go.  And, mommy wants 2 major things in 2012.....1) work she loves and 2) a new adventure with Akira and I in a new place.

SO...she planned an adventure to Ashland, Oregon's Little Creek horse farm for us and she brought the finals from her class to grade.  It was truly an amazing start to the new year.  I know I've only had a few of them...but let me tell you....this was the best so far.  Mostly because Mommy was happy and engaged with us.  We played puzzles and games and made food together and took walks and enjoyed being a family.  It was fantastic!
