11 weeks - and counting!
We heard the heartbeat for the first time on Monday. Thank you God for this healthy baby!

Lazy B Ranch
On Saturday, we were invited for a cookout at my previous boss's house. He and his family live on a farm in Statham, GA, which is near Athens...and a world away from the busyness and pace of Atlanta. Dave, Cyndi and their six kids have a "homestead" lifestyle. They raise chickens for their eggs, goats for milk, cows for beef, sheep for wool, and grow almost all the fruits and vegetables they need in their beautiful garden.
The Lazy B Ranch was certainly the highlight of Holly's week. She got to ride (sit on) a pony, play with baby goats, see chickens in their coup, and roast marshmallows in a fire pit (with a little help from Mom and Dad). Not to mention all the love and attention Dave's kids showered on her...
To top it all off, as we were saying our goodbyes and getting in the car, Matt and I saw a shooting star. It was a perfect half-day retreat from our normal day-to-day, and who knows...maybe I'll even plant a garden...

Off with the Side Mullets
If you've seen Holly recently, you're familiar with the long hairs in the back of her head that look like 2 horns pointing downward. They're on either side of her head and really do resemble mini-mullets. Saturday I convinced Matt that it was time to cut them. It was a little sad for him, because this is Holly's baby hair - the only hair that didn't fall out when she was around a month old (which explains why it's so much longer than the rest of her hair). But we did it, and captured it for your viewing enjoyment.
Notice the kitchen shears I'm using...

My Little Mozart
These videos do a poor job of capturing Holly's true musical talent. Every time I turn the camera on her, she gets distracted and more interested in the camera. But it's cute nonetheless, and I can't wait to get her in piano lessons!
(When you see her point, she's telling me to "Sit down!" She's getting a little bossy these days).
