This is the start of the busiest week in my year.  Pumpkin is having her first friends' birthday party on Sunday.  Then her birthday is on Wednesday.  Friday, we have dress rehearsal for the spring recital followed by performances on Saturday and Sunday.  After the Sunday performance, we'll be having Pumpkin's family birthday party with my family.  In the midst of all this activity, we still have therapy appointments, school, ballet classes and a vacation to pack for.  Whew!

I got my hair cut on Wednesday.

It's not that smooth and polished looking now, but it's a great wash and go haircut.  That is a serious requirement for me.  It's wonderful to wash not so much hair.  I'll need to purchase a flat iron to get this polished look.

I'm not ready for my vacation.  At all.  I need to start making lists, but am having trouble starting.  I'm excited to have this laptop with me so I can really chronicle the trip.

I'm really looking forward to the spring recital.  The girls' instructor wrote the ballet for her niece, Gabriela (who is absolutely adorable!).  I know the basic story line but can't wait to see how all the parts go together.

Brother has an opportunity to go to an overnight event with the Squires, but he has opted out.  I think he's really leery of what will happen.  I could see his anxiety level rise as we discussed it so I've not pushed it.  Even though there are a lot of familiar boys attending, he doesn't feel comfortable.  I'm hoping next year he'll be able to go.  Maybe Ben will be able to go as well to help.

Speaking of Ben.  If you could, please pray that the Army finds him a job here.  For various sundry reasons, we will be staying here if he ends up sent elsewhere.  Most of those reasons have to do with Brother's therapies.  I won't get into it as it will turn into a rant, but Ben is finding it difficult to get a job here.  He's still working on it.  I know he doesn't want to be a geographical bachelor and we'd like to keep Daddy home.  We do have our reasons for going this route.  Poor Ben had to hear my rant during our weekly Skype call.

DId you see dear friend's granddaughter?  She's just precious!
