Our Saturday

The weather was absolutely beautiful here today--sunny and in the 70s. We decided to take advantage of a "safety day" being held by our local volunteer fire department. Jenna was very excited to see fire trucks! She also got to see an ambulance, police car & motorcycle, rescue squad, and even a life-star helicopter land. Randy told her he hoped this was as close as she ever got to needing one of those! Anyway, it was great to be outside enjoying the weather--I could use several more weeks of this before the hot summer begins!





Before we went to the event, Jenna said she wanted a haircut. We've trimmed her hair off and on, but have never had it professionally done. We decided to give her another trim in the back, and it turned out really cute. Pretty soon, her bangs will be grown out and we can let it all grow again. Here's a shot from the back so you can see the length--it looks really thick now!

Jenna's growing up

Within the past couple of weeks, Jenna's become quite the conversationalist! She has started asking: "Whatcha doing?" then if we sufficiently answer her, she says "Oh, OK." letting us know she understands. If we tell her we're getting ready to do something she likes, she'll say, "Oh, OK, let's do that!" It's hilarious to hear her responses!

She's also started raising her hand when she wants something. I'm sure this was from school, but it's still catches me off guard. If I ask Randy if he'd like something to eat/drink, Jenna immediately responds by raising her hand and saying "I want some!"

She's also growing like a weed. In the past 2 months, she's grown 3/4 of an inch. Her hair is really growing a lot too. It seems like she just changes everyday.

Jenna is very observant too. A couple of months ago, she started saying "'member?" when we would pass a place she recognized. The first place she mentioned was when we passed a place in an unfamiliar area of town that she'd been to once. It amazed me. Now, she continues to amaze me with how she remembers places we go and things we do. It seems it only takes one time going or talking about something and it's embedded in her mind.

Sorry for the long post. It's been a while, and I wanted to catch you all up on how our little girl is changing. I'll try to post more often in the coming months.

Strawberries

We've been eating a lot of strawberries lately, and they were just too pretty to not take pictures of. Here are some of my favorites...




And check out the size of this one! I've never seen a strawberry so big!

Blogging 101

It's been so long since I've posted, I think I need to go to a refresher class on how to do so! It's been a busy month, so other things have taken priority. But hopefully May will be a slower month, and I'll be much more diligent with posting. : )

Today, I snapped some pictures of Jenna that I thought turned out great. The blues in her shirt really set off her pretty eyes. Notice how long and thick her hair has gotten! We're trying to grow out her bangs, so if you see long hair in her eyes in other pictures, that's why. We're making progress and she likes her hair long, so we'll continue the process.

I'll post some April pictures later.
