We got back from Iowa, uneventfully, thankfully.

I had an ultrasound today to follow up with some problems from my c-section but my appointment to find out the results isn't til September 15th. Pray for patience.

R went back to work tonight and said lots of stuff is messed up. Pray for patience.

We received the rest of Lillian's six month pictures today via email and they are up at Becky's website. I love them, but still wish Lil would have been in a better, more smiley mood. We have all the rights to these photos, and anyone can save and print them. However, wait until they are up on our Picasa website, because these ones are imprinted with her name and are a low resolution for easy web viewing.

I went through our motherload of mail tonight and ended up with four magazines, three bills, two coupons and one certificate for a free month of Gymboree classes. Whee! I balanced the checkbook, did laundry and cleaned also. Yes, I know how to have a good time.

I'm going to upload pictures tomorrow of the rest of the Iowa pictures (yes mother, including the verse I painted on Gma's kitchen wall) and a couple we've taken since we got home.

Also tomorrow, R's brother, Kenny, is going to visit us for the first time.

I'm going to chop my hair off. There's no stopping me now, just debating how short and how to cut it. My favorite two options are:

Number One Front:


Number One Back (right):


Number Two:

Number Three:

However, I am going between this type of cut and one that is more plain but would allow me to still get my hair into a ponytail. Something like these:

Number Four:

Number Five:

Number Six:

Number Seven:

Thoughts? But make them pronto, or I'm liable to get over anxious and just hack it all off myself.
