FISH!

We had a wonderful evening with some special friends here in LR. We know the Fishers' from our time at Ramstein, and it's always great when we can get together with them.

They have a large pond behind their house and Isabella had a chance to fish for the first time, and actually caught one with the help of Mr. Fisher. Jack had fun feeding the fish, and we had our workout keeping him out of the water!

Thank you Fisher family for a fabulous time!

A First...

Isabella has never had her hair cut...until this weekend. Jack was in desperate need of a hair cut, and I've been trying to convince Isabella to at least have her hair trimmed in the back to even it out. She was certain that when you get your hair cut it hurts...this might have something to do with the fact that her brother is always trying to pull her hair. Well, Saturday at breakfast I was talking to her about getting her hair trimmed when Daddy came up with scissors and cut a piece of her hair off. Steve showed her the hair and asked her if it hurt. She, of course, was a bit shocked (as was I).


We got to the kid salon, which itself is a party, and she put on her brave face. She chose the police car to sit in, picked the show she wanted to watch and was offered a coveted lolly pop. She looked so cute sitting there. So, while her brother was going totally nuts steering his firetruck and devouring his sucker next to her, she had a blast (and even asked if she could get her hair cut again next weekend). :)
