Before and After...

Hey there! This is Chelsea and I got my hair cut today. (See pictures below!) There were many reasons for it, like the heat and the fact that my almost two month old is now putting a death grip on my hair so I decided it was best to make it harder for her to reach. It was pretty scary and I was very nervous since I have been growing it out for 5 years, but I like it. It will be fun. Thanks for reading and we will be posting more pictures of MJ soon!

Ready or Not, West Texas here we come!

Baby blanket compliments of Carol Boswell! And Amy Rizzo seemed to enjoy herself as she was able to come by during the lunch break of our SmartBoard workshop. She looked pretty cozy in her car seat, and we can only hope that she stays that docile on her 6 hour trip down I-20 to good ole West Texas.

Fariss Family Fun Weekend

My parents and sister all journeyed to Coppell this past weekend to visit. They say it was to visit us, but I highly doubt that we were the focus. McKenna did great and her facial expressions are priceless. It was great to spend time with my mom and dad as McKenna is growing every day and she seems to change so much. We are truly blessed by such a precious child, and I am thankful for a few days off to spend with her and her mother!

She did great at her first trip to Sunday morning worship at church. Kendall Jennings and Pam Brawner were responsible for the adorable outfit, and she even kept her hair thingy on almost the whole time (as a male, I am not sure the technical name for the thing--bow, headband, etc?).

We can only hope she does this well as we venture out to Abilene/Andrews this coming week. We will be taking the exercise ball, as it covers a multitude of fussiness. As rookie parents, you can imagine how we will be packing the entire nursery to take with us. As a boy scout, our motto was "Be Prepared", and prepared we will be. I'm not sure how we will take apart the crib to get it into the Camry, but we are always up for a challenge. I'm sure the more seasoned parents can offer advice on what we need and what we don't, so any feedback would be helpful, especially before I head down to the U-Haul facility to secure the largest truck.

Baby Talk

A little unintelligble at times, but I know I heard a "Hi", and I think I heard, "I love daddy"
