Happy Holidays from the Dickinson-Joscelyns! (Part One of Two)

Thank the universe! We are home safe and sound from traveling to and from Montana last week. I was soooo ready for this vacation. I needed some time to collect my thoughts, sleep in and get re-energized. I was burned out and I felt like Seeley was starting to suffer (not really suffer but, you know, mom guilt.) That's why time with family is so important. My family and my in-laws always make me feel confident, they encourage me to continue and accomplish my personal goals and they love my daughter endlessly. I'm so lucky to have such great people in my life.

Weekend Pics!

We're obviously in some kind of Seattle kick, because we decided to head north again this weekend! We spent the day in Edmonds looking at  and the ferry, playing near the water and visiting a cute little pop-up frog and turtle sanctuary. It was 40 degrees and cloudy which is a perfect day for the Pacific Northwest in December. After our Edmonds visit we spent some time with Wes' brother Eric and his girlfriend Jill. She discovered a flashlight at their house, which led to a lot of free entertainment courtesy of Seeley ;)

Seeley's First Haircut!

Seeley has beautiful, wavy, dark blond hair. And lately, it's getting all over her face. She may have Wes' hair color but she has the thickness of my hair! We've been wanting to get her a haircut for awhile, but when thinking about where to take her I decided I would cut it myself. Mind you, I have never cut anyone else's hair, let alone the bangs we wanted her to have. But I gave it a go anyway. It's definitely uneven but I think it's adorable. Wes and I still have our moms cut our hair and it's something I'm happy to do for my little girl :)

Around These Parts...

How has it been so long since I've blogged? How is it almost Christmas? Time is moving way too fast for me! I love the holidays and having a little one makes this time of year even more special. I'm not loving the cold though, even in Oregon. I'm quite a wimp about cold weather, I'll admit! We've been having fun as usual around here. It is officially winter and cold here and Seeley and I have been getting cabin fever a bit. Thankfully we have our favorite Community Center to hang out at. She loves that place and there's always something for her to do (and it's warm!) Enjoy some pics from the last couple weeks and stay warm!
