Hair Potential

Petunia is 17 months and we have recently given up on the elastic headbands because she rips them off and launches them across the room/car.
Luke cannot wait until we can put a little side-braid in the front of her hair! He saw a Dr on "Grey's Anatomy" with one last season and told me, "I want you to braid Petunia's hair like that." (Which I thought was pretty cute!)
Now it seems to be latest trend and every teenage girl seems to be sporting one. Needless to say, since becoming a mom I have been grooming chia-pet-heads and buzz cuts, I cannot wait to try it on Petunia.....eventually.
She doesn't have enough for a braid, at least from what my skills would enable me to do, but she did have enough for me to put in a little clip this morning.

She wasn't a big fan and it only lasted 10 seconds...but it was long enough for me to snap about 100 pictures.... as proof of the hair potential.
If only she would cooperate! :)



Right before she ripped it out...for the 10th time. I think she was exasperated with her mother.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
