remembering

She is helping me remember today. Praying for the families of those who gave their lives on and for September 11, 2001. Praying for our nation today.

education and celebration

Most of my day yesterday was spent with this lovely lady. Some find this picture creepy. For me, it's what a canvas is to an artist (I know, deep right?). This was a blank canvas of hair.


The fashion industry is constantly changing. To keep up with what is happening, we attend classes. Studio Red is a salon that values education. So, some of us went into the city to learn some new razor techniques. We are an ARROJO ambassador salon. Nick Arrojo is a master with the razor. So to be able to learn from him is always profitable. A fellow ambassador salon, Intrigue, hosts the classes in Atlanta. They have some amazing stylists and are gracious enough to allow us all to learn from each other, as well as Nick and his education team from New York.

Yesterday was also special because it was Balinda's birthday! Happy birthday, B!!! We love you!

Grandparents' day

Happy Grandparents' Day, y'all!!!

week of firsts

lydia,

this week has been interesting to say the least. we have had quite a few firsts for you.

*first time sleeping through the night (thanks for that!)
*first time looking at your hands
*first runny nose which brought along a sore throat (sad day)
*first time pooping in the bath (pretty nasty)
*first day without a belly ache in a while (praying it continues)

*first melt down in a photography session with Kelly is Nice (at least she got a few good ones...)

*first melt down in a store (i have had melt downs in academy sports too, ask your dad)

how he dresses u when going to academy sports

you keep getting bigger and bigger. i love you with such a big portion of my heart!

first day (september)

here is a fair warning, my first day this month doesn't have a bunch of pictures of lydia due to the fact that she was a pistol when i got home from work.  she got her nickname in the hospital, and they were correct.  a little pistol, indeed.  i think she is to the point of needing a flexible nap schedule.  we shall see how that goes this week.  anyway, enjoy what pictures i did take and be sure to check out the other first day posts that people link up.

happy baby in the mornings

work

i get to work with the bff on saturdays

welp, at least you guys got to see some work pictures.  just so you know, we did have community group with some of our church family as well as some time at home, you didn't get to see any of that time because of a crying baby.  hoping my little pistol will do well with napping, so that next month's first day is a little more exciting for you guys.
