The First French Braid.

Of many braids.
*I hope*

Thanks for an especially delicious day sweet Nonie.
I loved most, our leisurely stroll.

I love counting on you to bring me joy.
Because, you always do.

Flowers in their hair

I hope Ms. Nonie grows up...

To be just like Gup.

Thanks for the ongoing hair advice and for doing my hair when I was a wee one.

As you can see, I now have the great honor of doing Nonie's hair.  All three of them.

The bow is upside-down and lasted about 25 seconds.  The boys watched me put it in her hair and looked at it like it was a very foreign object.  Bow?  We don't do bows in this house..

Nonetheless she felt like a queen while the bow was in.  I could tell by the sparkle in her eyes.

P.S. Does this blog take the place of "The Journal" which never seemed to circulate as planned?  Someone lost it didn't they?!?!
