No one told me...all you moms out there need to tell us things like how uncontrollable the tears will be when your baby gets her first haircut..and how you see those precious locks laying there in the floor and you can't hold it back anymore! She has done more "growing up" this past week than I care for her to experience ever again. I'm just not ready! Her hair looks so sweet, and it's much easier to keep out of those big brown eyes. All in all, it's a good thing. I, on the other hand, am resorting to a glass of wine and looking through her baby book.
Another special one...

I haven't forgotten.
Oh my...a year??? Nooo..it can't be close to year since I've last written. Perhaps I could tuck my tail and say I've been so busy being a parent...I haven't had time to write. Since we've entered a new year, part of my resolution is to write at least once a month...girl scouts honor! The days and adventures of Miss Frances are filled with humor and excitement...you'll get some good laughs at the least!
2009 was a year of adjustment, and that's putting it mildly. We've been in Raleigh now a whopping 18 months. It's getting easier, but I catch myself still referring to Richmond as home. I know things take time, and I'm being patient with myself so I'll give this gig a full go. Charles is busy with work. He has traveled places never in a million years did he think he'd get to visit. And to think his travels all started with a little trip to a small town called Moscow, Russia. I am so proud of all he's done and accomplished.
For those who may not know, we said good bye to our black lab this past Nov. When signing on to blog, I scrolled down to see the picture of that sweet furry baby. I can't help but break down and cry...I have missed her so much. My heart still feels broken.
Miss Frances is no longer "baby"...a little girl through and through. Oh, I could go on and on about this precious one but will save her most outlandish stories for blogging. WE have just changed to a "big girl bed"..poor little thing's world as she knew it was crushed...and so was mine! My baby!!!I know part of being a parent is learning how to let go...I'm not so good at that. All of sudden, I feel as if Frances is changing and growing at the speed of light, which I know I'm supposed to be excited about, but I just can't keep up with it all happening so fast.
Well...I'm usually comatose by 8 each night, so let me wish everyone a happy New Year...and you will be hearing more of our tales!
