This past week has been an interesting one! Lots going on, but one story was the highlight of the week!
A funny/sad, story- this past week Paul was in using the clippers to trim his hair. He asked me to help him even out the back of his hair, and I guess we had a slight amount of mis-communication. I thought he meant, the back of his HEAD (maybe where he couldn't quite reach?) - he meant help with the back of his NECK (edging a straight line)---- so he handed me the clippers (set on the lowest setting i found out) and i went straight up the back of his head- and started screaming! Paul's eyes almost bugged out of his head! Yep, a huge nearly bald stripe right in the middle of his head!!!! It was so sad- i cried for a hour straight after that, and we had to shave his entire head. Paul was a great sport, and he wasn't even mad at me, although i felt horrible. Good thing he looks handsome no matter what his hair is doing.
Onto more happy moments....
COX FAMILY REUNION 2012
Daddy & Brightlie at the Bean-bag Toss!
It was held at Schnepf Farms, and the day was filled with
TONS of carnival games, fun in the sun, good food, and great people :)

There is so much going on right now in our lives! Although we are taking it day by day, I had a nervous breakdown this week... i guess the stress finally caught up with me... Only 2 months til a new baby arrives- how will that change our family, how will i love another child as much as i love B, how will B respond,
how will i do with 2 kids, who is going to help me?
In addition, Paul is applying for lots of exciting job opportunities and graduating in May-where will we be moving? what about our house? how will we do in a new location? how will i pack up and move when i have a newborn?
New baby, new job, new location/house....
WOW- I guess it all seems a little overwhelming right now... but wish us luck! Lots of new changes are happening between now and May and i know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us! I hope i can do it!
good luck with everything!! i know how it is, i promise it will all work out. I gained the same both times with the girls, hardly any weight for some reason! never more than 24 pounds by the end. we had to move right when sophie was 5 weeks old. it will all pull together without you even realizing it :)
ReplyDeleteDuane is sleeping next to me, so I had to hold in my laugh. That is so hilarious! Duane doesn't ask me to help with his haircuts anymore...
ReplyDeleteYour family is looking darling! So excited for you to enjoy having another girlie!
