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!

We recently went to an IU soccer game and boy was it freezing! I am not the biggest fan of the cold but Jason loves soccer and Hayden loves going for the hot dog. We didn't get to stay for the whole thing, thank goodness, but it was still fun.

My little Maya has got alot of hair but it is just as staight as a board. I thought I would try giving her hair some volume by putting some curlers in it. Unfortunately she looked alot cuter with the curlers in than when they came out.

Hayden loves to jump. He will jump off of many things but his favorite place in the house to jump from is the stairs. Don't worry it is ONLY the bottom step.

This is another great shot at the national forest. Fall is Jason's favorite time of year so he was just in heaven. He had been looking forward to seeing the millions of trees change since we moved here.
