Sweet Allie

Allie before church on Sunday. (She picked out her shoes).
Allie loves to torment dogs. This is Henna, Stephen's parents dog. You can't really see it in the picture, but Henna is also wearing a princess crown that Allie put on her head.

Stephen's parents are here visiting from Florida. They have been a huge help around the house! This is just one example of how much we will miss their help....Doug helping Stephen hang a sconce on the wall.

Allie's new haircut

We took Allie tonight to get her first real haircut.  She has had a "trim" before, but this time we cut a good 2 inches off and it looks adorable!  We had to go ahead and bribe her with the sucker, but once she got it, she did pretty good sitting in my lap getting her hair cut. 
Checking out her new do......she doesn't look too pleased. 
I had to come up with creative ways to get her to look straight....she was looking at my eye brow in this picture.....
She loves to get her hair dried.
The finished product!  I LOVE IT!

The Penny

I have discovered I need to know more about CPR and the heimlich for children. Allie got choked on a penny today! She was just standing there with this scared look on her face....making this gag noise. I didnt know what to do and tried to feel in her throat for something (I didnt know at the time what it was). Then I proceeded to smack her hard on her back over and over...she was still choking. Finally, she gagged it up. I haven't heard her cry like she did in a long time, it really scared her. But, it scared me more...I was shaking. Needless to say, I have been researching tonight what to do if it happens again.

Counting...

The video is dark, but you can still hear Allie counting. She has the sweetest little voice.
