Mid week

It's a Wednesday.  Wednesday for us usually involved playgroup in the morning - then tired kids in the afternoon.  Today we only went for a short while as we had an unscheduled hair-dresser's appointment.  Miss 3 chopped her hair last week, and DH and I decided it really needed to be given some attention by a professional to even it out.  So now she is sporting a cute little bob cut just above her chin.  It has tided it up nicely, although her own hair-dressing efforts are still a little obvious.  Mr. 2 also had his first hair-dresser cut.  Neither DH or I are keen to give him the buzz-cut yet, I am sure once we do his blonde hair will disappear - it's already starting to darken at the roots.  So he's looking more big-boy and less baby - which I guess is inevitable - but still sad.  He's still my baby boy, even though his baby sister is only three weeks shy of being one!!  Time has gone so fast.

10 Years

Ten years ago my world changed.  A family lost a daughter and sister.  I lost my best friend. 
Sarah went from driving her car to heaven in the twinkle of an eye through the hands of a young man driving under the influence.  Back then, if felt like life would not be livable - it was a heinous time for everyone.  Now - I have lots of thoughts going through my head.  So much has changed.  While Sarah will remain forever nearly 21 - life has moved on.  I'm hoping to see her younger sister today - might get back later to write some more.
