Pigtails

A few weeks ago I managed to coax Jaina's hair back into some pigtails. They were SO cute, but she didn't totally appreciate the process. I am thinking this will be a cute summer hairstyle a lot of the time. Maybe by that time her hair will have grown out a little bit more and will be a little easier to get there. The problem is it grows straight forward (and somewhat longer on the top, but she doesn't have a lot of extra hair in the back. Of course I trimmed it a few months ago, too, in the back, but it IS starting to grow out.
When I looked at these pictures I realized how old she is starting to look. I can't believe she's barely two, with how she acts sometimes. She is adorable and a pill, sometimes all at the same time. She's sleeping right now. Her 3-hour naps are definitely a personality plus that skipped her brother. At this age, I was lucky if Reilly napped every other day!




















We haven't been seeing much of Daddy lately. All trimester he's been super busy, but since he started clinic after Christmas he has been gone from 7 to 7 more often than not, and even had to go into the clinic a couple Saturday mornings. He is excited to be done with 7th Tri though (as of yesterday) and hopefully only has two more tri's here at Palmer before he gets to go somewhere else and precept. He likes getting to actually take films and adjust people, but I think he's looking forward to leaving the excesive paperwork and crazy clinic doctors behind...
The kids are just happy when they get to hang out with him. He's really good about playing with them and reading to them in the evenings, even when he'd probably rather just crash after a long day. They love their daddy!

She looks a lot like you! What a good daddy too! That has to be hard on him to be gone so much of the time, as well as being hard on you! Glad it is almost over.
