the ICK's finally gone from our home - PRAISE THE LORD!!!

well, it's true, we've not heard a cough at all today & we're claiming victory in the 'ICK' department... this junk started christmas morning when brit got up & until yesterday we've been battling it the entire time... it's been one or more of us passing it around & i'm happy to announce, it's outta here!... we're getting together tomorrow with kyle, angie & their kiddos (that's who we're vacationing with this year) & we're all excited about that...

yesterday i started redoing the girls' hair (starting with kiara & karleigh)... i then finished up today (with ruby) & i'm done for another month!!... i love doing it, but man is it time consuming... i'm going to post a few pictures (below) on here for my sister so she can give me tips/pointers on how i'm doing as she's still in haiti, but hopefully will be home sometime by the end of this year (2007)...

this evening we went to my niece's birthday party... megan's 5 today (happy birthday megan!) & boy did the kiddos have fun!... there was bubbles, cake, ice cream, space to run & when you add all that in with 6 little girls ages 5y, 4y, 4y, 3y, 3y & 2y, you've got a VERY fun time... there was also smoochin' going on as my parents were 'caught'... we all had a great time & hope you enjoy the pics of all the silliness!5y megan (the birthday girl)
