Adieu Miriam

My sweet friend Miriam has left Bloomington this morning to head back to Paris, France. I was so sad to see her go. We have become very close the past few months and I don't know what I am going to do without her. She has a son the same age as Hayden and is now 4 1/2 months pregnant. I hope she has a girl! I love you dearly Miriam and hope that I can come and visit you someday in your amazing city!

I love putting Maya's hair in pigtails and Hayden always sees me doing it. A few days ago he asked his dad to do his hair, so Jason put it in three different ponytails. He is such a beautiful little boy, he could almost pass as a girl! The shirt he has on in this picture is pretty special because it was actually one of Jason's when he was Hayden's age. His mom kept it all these years and gave it to me.

The other day I was in the kitchen and asked Hayden to bring Maya a toy. When I came out to check on them I saw this. He brought her a toy alright! I thought it was so sweet of him since half of the toys he brought her were his. He is such an awesome big brother!
