Auntie Rosanna came for a visit this week - it was WONDERFUL! Mostly we shopped, enjoyed treats, and savoured the opportunities to be in each other's company.

Here's Myra coming in for a kiss "mmmmaa"



Modelling some new clothes :D





On Wedesday we took Myra for her first haircut. I chose a place that was specifically for kids but in the end she cried with fear the entire time anyways. It probably would've helped if the 1) the boy in the other seat wasn't also crying very loudly and 2) if the hairdresser had taken the time to actually make eye contact with Myra, introduce herself, show Myra the cape before just coming from behind to put it on her...etc. Thankfully, once the haircut was over, the tears resolved fairly quickly. :D

Here are two short videos...feeling so sad :(





Post haircut....



Hope you have a relaxing weekend - it's supposed to snow here so that should be exciting :D

Awww, I think those first haircuts are always a little bit scary. Lucas clung to me while Auntie Leah tried to be as quick as she could! We ended up singing "This is the way we cut our hair" over and over and OVER until it was done. That seemed to help. Now Lucas begs for haircuts, "I need haircut. From Auntie Leah, please?" :)
Myra looks so cute, and so grown up! Wow, this turned into a long comment, guess I'm chatty this morning...Hope you have a good day!!

Aiden was so good for his first 3 hair cuts (yes 3) the child has a lot of hair lol and now he absolutely lost it the last time. It is time to go again but I dread it a bit.
Myra looks soo grown up, glad you could have some good sister time!

Jotham walked over to see what was going on as soon as he heard the video's, he had such a concerned look on his face when he heard Myra crying.
Glad you had a great visit with your sister. The pics of her and Myra are great. Miss you and love you lots.

So funny! If only we could all cry like that when we don't like our hair cut! She's precious.

So glad you got a nice visit in with Rosanna! And Myra's hair cut experience resembles E's first cut!!

Sounds like you had fun with Rosanna. Myra looks nice in her new cut:)

Glad to hear you guys had a fun visit with Rosanna! That's too bad, though, that Myra didn't enjoy her first haircut. Doesn't seem like she's traumatized or anything, so that's good!

Thanks for the update - we miss you guys lots!!

Too bad her first haircut experience was so sad:( Hopefully she won't remember it and the next time will better(with a better hairdresser too).
Yay for sister time - that's so special.
I'm jealous you're getting snow already. Can't wait for it to do that here:)
