January Days

Graydon has the best curls.

But he finally came to a point when his hair was becoming just a little too much for him. His main complaint was that it was itching his neck. So, after more than a year of growing it out, Graydon asked for a hair cut. Here is the before. Incidentally, he didn't realize how long the back was until he saw this this side view. He just assumed the back was the same length as the front! before 
And After! 
afterThis haircut made him look a little older to me and, surprisingly, a little taller! Even though it is shorter, he still has great hair! 

And here is the pile of hair that was cut off! IMG_0176 Andy purchased a new pool table light with some of his Christmas money and Graydon helped install it. IMG_0180 IMG_0181 I came home one day to see the boys playing some one-on-one basketball. It always fills my heart with joy to see them playing together, and especially doing something active without being told. IMG_5666 IMG_5667 January is my self-declared month of hibernation. On days when I come home and don't have to leave again, I get into my pajamas right away and allow myself to move a little slower with zero guilt. This feels so good and helps me enjoy January more. IMG_5669 We had a gallon-size ziploc bag filled with old crayons. I've had this project in mind for literally years and I finally did it. I turned all those individual crayons into something fun that I can give to students at school. IMG_5708 Bella has a couple games left in her basketball season. Another mom takes photos at every game, so I got a few of Bella from her. IMG_5671 I'm pretty sure she just took a shot in this photo and was fouled by that player on the opposing team.

IMG_5663 And I'll end with a few fun selfies with Curtis. IMG_5638 IMG_5637
