Arleen Ran Away

Hope has her cute way of saying good morning!

The boys suddenly begin to water wrestle.

Oh boy, this is just the beginning of what can really happen when they're teenagers- when they begin to fight over girls?

Adira and I make brownies and later top it off with vanilla ice cream. YUM!

This afternoon I went for a facial and a full body massage and then just around the block I went shopping for clothes and got the Aeropostal shirt Adira is now wearing (and has worn mutiple times since my stay there! So I must have done something right) Then just up the block I was able to get my haircut, which was long overdue. The nice thing was the massages and haircuts are more reasonable here in Illinois and I realized I now have a hairstylist here (not to mention a babysitter, my sister! hee hee). And it's great that I could walk from my sisters house to downtown Homewood to have all this "pampering" done.

Auntie Arleen's way of dressing up a baby. Check out the furry jacket vest I got her on my shopping spree! Her mother Cheri could only shake her head...

I was practically gone the whole afternoon, Cheri thought I ran away.
