You Learn Something New Every Day

There are two reasons that I haven't used watermarks on my photos before. 1) I feel like it makes me seem uppity - as if I'm a pro or something and 2) I wasn't sure how to do it. But I got started thinking - I really should probably use watermarks because I put my photos out here on this blog, and I don't want anyone stealing photos of my sweeties and using them for purposes that I have not sanctioned or that I know nothing about. So today I learned how to create and use a watermark. Holy buckets! It.is.easy. And kinda fun. :) So here's a little something showing what I've learned. :)

Mollie's First Haircut

This week, Mollie had her first haircut! You can't tell all that much, but I definitely think it looks healthier and fuller. We're not doing bangs with her because they are such a pain to keep trimmed and we ended up growing Natalie's out anyway. So whatever "bangs" Mollie appears to have - well, it's just how her hair is growing in.

My sweet friend Candace at Shear Perfection who does my hair (and like everyone's I know, apparently) trimmed the tresses of both of our cuties this past Thursday.

Mollie in progress - not EXACTLY sure what to think of the whole ordeal, but definitely compliant. :)

Voila! Look at the sweet curls!

Catching Up . . . Yet Again

Here are a few pictures from the past week.

Morning snuggles with Casey. :)




Mollie decided to give me lots of funny faces one evening while Natalie was watching a movie upstairs. :)












And they got to play outside in the sandbox for the first time at the new house! Natalie loves it, but Mollie won't actually step in. She refuses to get sand on her feet, so she just plays from outside . . . and makes a gigantic mess! I got a few snaps of my two beauties.
