To Cut or Not to Cut

I keep looking at the picture I posted in my last post and think - hmmmmmm, maybe Alyssa needs a haircut! I have been growing her bangs out for a while now, but the little stinker will not keep barrettes in her hair. Just throw a feather boa on her and you got Steven Tyler Junior! I have been thinking about cutting her hair for quite some time now, I dont know why I am so gun shy. It's not like she is Sampson and is going to loose all her strength if her hair gets cut! Maybe it is a step into the big girl direction I just am not able to make yet. I don't know what it is, but I have to do something soon before her hair turns into dread locks!!!

Short and Sweet

It has been a weekend of runny noses, coughing fits and sleepless nights! Where are you summer???

Patiently awaiting when they can be outside in a tent!

Alyssa is into just being in her diapers lately we just roll with it :-)

Time Flys

It was a big weekend for the Eastman Girls. Bella is now an official crawler and she is all over the place and in to everything she can get her hands on! Alyssa moved out of her crib and into a "big girl bed" and she loves it, she always adapts so well to new things.

Counting my Blessings

Besides having two beautiful daughters, we have a wonderful bunch of nieces and nephews. It is so fun to see Alyssa and Briella interact with their cousins - it fills my heart so. I know it will only get better as the years go on. I am looking forward to the summer when they can all run about outside and play play play as only children can. There soon will be one more nephew to add to the bunch - I can't wait!!

Little MN Sports Fans

Brian and I are big MN sports fans, in some cases that is very unfortunate! So, whether or not they like it, our girls are going to grow up watching hockey, football, baseball and once and a while we will tune into basketball as well.

Brian took Alyssa to a high school hockey game a few weeks ago and she was yelling "go hockey go!" the whole game. So we are starting them young.

I am not Cloneing Around

We have a program on our computer that randomly displays pictures that I have stored over the years. There are times when a picture of Alyssa will come up and I think it is Bella, it is like Bella is a little clone of Alyssa. They may have their own personalities, but in the looks department they are sisters through and through!

You tell me if I am just seeing things - can you tell who is who???

Monkey see - Monkey do

Bella is going to learn all she knows from Alyssa. Good and bad, unfortunately. We are going to have to keep a very close eye on Alyssa to make sure she is a good girl, becuase little eyes are always watching her!

Sooooooooo BIG

Soooooooooo BIG
