The Yearning for Zion Hair Salon

"This is our menu, it's short, but don't let that scare you, we're very good at the things we offer. Let me go over it with you...

We offer the french braid with a "butt" bang, as modeled by Nancy.

We also offer a french braid with highlights.


This is very popular among our younger women, the french braid with a tendril in front, very natural, very nice."

A Great day!

Why did I photoshop my face, well to hide the food in my teeth. Oh yeah, and if you ever need a haircut do yourself a favor, buy an airline ticket and fly anywhere necessary to get a good haircut from someone who knows what they're doing.
At least I thought we had a good day...

At what age can they diagnose depression? Come on Elizabeth look alive!

Today didn't start out too promising, but it took a good turn around 11:00 this morning. The kids were still in their jammies and my make-up wasn't on, but I rallied and took them out.
We started out at PetSmart and looked at all the animals. Elizabeth loved the parakeets! It was so cute to see her little face light up. They both loved the fish, especially Caroline who would scare them to the back of the tank. We saw gerbils, they were adorable! They were huddled together against the glass asleep, they looked REALLY cute and I wish I had had a camera, wait a minute, I DID have a camera, but I knew that it would wake them when the flash went off and that the glass would reflect the flash, so I nixed that. We then walked to Noodles and Company and proceeded to give our order to a girl that was as interested in what I was saying as well...you get the picture. We ate lunch and the girls did great! Then, we walked a long way (for Caroline) to Blockbuster for a movie. After that we went to get ice cream at Coldstone. Caroline and Elizabeth were very friendly to everyone and everyone we passed seemed to be enjoying the weather.


A cute little quote: Caroline walked alongside a woman who was pushing her baby in a stroller, well the woman wouldn't slow down for anything (grrrr.....) and Caroline called out "Hey! I really love your baby!"


It's Spring!

Yesterday the blossoms on our trees looked like this,
And today they look like this!

Mom and Dad's Visit





Mom and dad came to visit for Natalie's baptism, it was a great week and ended too soon. Caroline and Elizabeth couldn't get enough of them. Some of my favorite parts of their trip was going to eat lunch with the girls, we also went to several antique shops. The other highlight was when everyone came to my house while dear old dad watched the kids and we decorated Caroline's room (it looks darling, although it still has a way to go). Mom and Dad also took the kids while we went to Vermont which was SO nice of them!!
Quote of the week: Dad asked Caroline to show him her newly decorated bedroom. He told her how pretty it was she then said "thanks, now get out."

Some of my favorite things!





I forgot to say that my favorite ice cream right now is Haagen Dazs Cookie Dough. It is fabulous!
