But the best part of our days is just spending it together!

Happy Easter!

My First Haircut...

At 10 months, Anna had her first haircut. Well, really she had her bangs trimmed. Grandmommy insisted that it was time for her to show Anna off to the ladies that cut her hair. Mommy and Daddy agreed that it might be a good idea as they were often pulling hair back out of Anna's eyes. Anna loved all the attention but got a little scared when everyone was in her face.

I promise Mommy is not choking me.

She is just making sure I stay still and don't get cut by the scissors.

So serious...

Maybe one day I will have enough hair for these curlers to go into my hair...

Can I help!?

Haircut (part II)

A short clip of Anna's first hairclips..

Yah! All done and so pretty!

I've Been Tagged...

My dear friend, Millie, has tagged me. Thus, I have to share 7 strange things about myself.

1) It is a treat for me to have my eyebrows waxed! I get excited knowing I have an appointment at the Brow Lounge. Speaking of treats, I had never had a pedicure until I was 25. Now, I get excited about this too!

2) I do not like to get flowers from my husband. Well, at least not on Valentine’s Day. And I am not just one of those girls who says this but really wants him to get them for me. It has taken me a while to really convince Kevin of this. And still he got me flowers for Valentine’s Day this year. But several times he heard how we could have been enjoying a nice meal with the money spent on the flowers. In my opinion it is just being practical.

3) I love clean sheets. If I could, I would have them every night! Although I love clean sheets I rarely put the clean sheets on our bed. I do wash them, but Kevin puts them on our bed.

4) I can’t go to sleep at night if there are articles of clothing in our room unfolded. Yes, even dirty clothes that are on the floor. I know, strange…but isn’t that what I am supposed to be sharing!?

5) Speaking of laundry…I love to turn doing the laundry into a game. I like to see if I can get all the laundry done in one fell swoop. The objective, get everything clean…nothing in the baskets or around the house needing to be washed. Thus, I have been known to take articles of clothing off my husband when I am on my final load of laundry, as I know in a matter of moments they will be going into the laundry hamper. You get extra points if you can keep everything clean for a good 24 hours!

6) Before I married my husband there were lots of foods I thought I disliked but I had never really tried them, either because of their look or texture. Now they are some of my favorites. Pineapple and candy corn are just two.

Finally #7) I am petrified to make returns or exchanges, especially in small stores, non-chains. Thankfully, I have a husband who doesn’t mind waiting in line to get money back for us! I guess I am afraid of what the person might think of me. And since we are on shopping, I might add, I am girl who doesn’t like to shop, especially for myself. Thankfully, I have a husband who will venture out with me.

Now that I have shared those 7 things with you, I will share with you what you are more than likely here to view…..

One of Anna's new favorite things....

Just a day in the life of Anna Catherine Sasser...full of Smiles!

6 Teeth to brush

I just go my very first toothbrush now that I have more than 2 teeth. Since I now have 6 teeth, and another poking through, Mommy & Daddy decided I needed to learn to brush my teeth. It's not so bad. It actually tastes good too.

This is my play area in the den.

Quality Time...

My love language is Words of Affirmation but Quality Time is right up there too! This Valentine's Day I was showered with both! We had planned on having breakfast together this morning. This was a treat in and of itself as Kevin is usually at Chic fil A on Thursday mornings. We love when Daddy is home in the mornings when Anna wakes. It means Mommy can stay in bed just a little longer while Daddy greets our precious daughter. We thought our time together would be short and rushed BUT we received an unexpected surprise...SNOW, which equaled Kevin going into work 2 hours later! YIPPEE! We spent the morning enjoying yummy cinnamon rolls, coffee, playtime on the floor with Anna, playtime in the snow with Anna and lots of snuggles! We then met Daddy 2 short hours later for Anna's 9-month check-up where she received a healthy report and three shots. She is still in the 50 percentile in weight and 75 percentile in height. Kevin, like each day has demonstrated love to both his girls today. He has made me feel special, loved and cherished. Thank you for the many ways you have shown me you love me today. Out of all the ways you expressed your love today, when you held Anna closely after she received her shots was the most precious to me. I could see in your eyes you too were hurting and I knew if you could take the pain away you would. Thank you for loving your girls sacrificially, for always wanting to make it better for us. We hope you know it is always better when you are with us! We love you!

I got to meet the Chic Fil A cow for the first time. He has pajamas just like me.
