So, not that she necessarily needed a hair cut, but on the advice of my grandmother that it will look better and grow faster, we went in on Saturday for the first official hair cut. My sweet hairdresser Tammy (who has done my hair for years including for our wedding) was great, and AW seemed to enjoy the whole experience. She sat in my lap and looked at herself in the huge mirror. It probably helped that she was super sleepy from not getting a nap that day!
We also did a photo session Saturday morning. The Jones very generously gave us this for AW's 2nd birthday present. We are planning on getting a panel of 5 pictures that will be the same as Bob, Steve, Richard, and Ben have. I can't wait to see the proofs! Ally started out great and then melted down about halfway through. She laid on the floor with her head down and kept saying "bye-bye". With a LOT of effort from the grandmothers I think we got all the shots we needed.
Saturday was big for another reason-we celebrated my Dad's retirement! His company had a really nice dinner at Wynlakes in honor of all his years of service. It was a special night, and I was honored to be a part of it. I have always been super proud of my Dad, but after hearing his bosses talk about what a great guy he is and how he is the epitome of a family man (one of them said he was the best guy he's ever met!) I couldn't help but feel a little prouder. He has taught me so much about life, and I am beyond grateful for him and excited for this new chapter of life.
Love you Dad!
