and now...what you've all been waiting for

Before

I took this one myself


Morgan took this one in San Diego

Profile

So there it is. The photos aren't great. I'm much cuter in person....yeah....that's what I tell myself. Anyway, I'm liking it more each day, and it is surprisingly easy to do. Love that. I'm still having issues with the non ponytail thing, but this way, I can't be a lazy bum.

San Diego was fun. We took like 5 pictures while we were there...none of us together. So much for creating memories. We were there for 5 days and had a good time just relaxing and doing whatever the heck we wanted. Morgan started missing Gwen the day we got there. It took me 3 to 4 to really miss her. Am I a bad mom? Yeah, I'm not one of those, bring your baby's sheets or blanket with you, kind of mom. Give me a break. Literally. Although, it did seem like she had grown 2 inches (including her hair...the back at least...she has a mega mullet) when we got home. Anyway, we went to the San Diego Zoo. We really liked that. We were able to go out to restaurants without having to entertain or ignore a screaming 2 year old (Gwen is usually allowed to eat crayons at restaurants if it will keep her quiet). We tried to sleep in. We walked on the beach and watched some dolphins jump around. We....um....just hung out. It was great.

So that's it for now. My goal for this week is to get our Christmas cards taken care of. We need a picture first. Some day...maybe I'll send out Valentine cards instead. So it any of you want to receive a card (Christmas, Valentine...maybe Labor Day), please send me your updated address. Even if you think I have it, I probably don't. I don't have an address book. Enough said.

You. Are. So. Gorgeous. And I mean that in the most non-lesbian way. You look awesome with your new hair cut-love it!

Shar said...

I love your cut. It's VERY Katie Holmes-ish. So cute. Your tree looks great too. I need to find some motivation and put mine up.

Jana said...

Mandy said...

I love it! It looks so great! You are a new hip mom - I agree with Shar - it does look like Katie Holmes. I can't belive how long it was getting - that is crazy. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! And Jana, you would never cut your hair that short - I know you.

Jana said...

Oh Amber. . . this means war!

Jana said...

And, I think my hair that short would NOT help my face with the chubs.

Emily said...

Amberly said...

jared & amber said...

No way Jana...remember when you cut it like 3 inches and you didn't like it - I'm calling your bluff!

Hey McKelle, you've been tagged - sorry if you have already done this. Check out my blog for more information.

McKelle, you look beautiful! That cut is perfect for you and very sassy.

Kari said...

Mckelle, everyone is lying to you. You totally look like a lesbian now. You can trust me because I also have a lesbian haircut...and LOVE IT!

I'm kidding of course. You look great! You'll soon forget all your ponytail woes. Short hair is here to stay!
