Check out my Slide Show!

Yay for Bethany coming to visit the weekend after Thanksgiving. Though her visit was very short -- we still had lots of time to tour Albany, have loads of fun, and of course take a ton of pictures. Any activity is fun as long as we are spending time together!

Bethany's Big Day!

Well Bethany got her first official and rather drastic haircut.

It went from looking like this:

To looking like this: (With Matthew's help)

Yep. That's my poor baby's hair -- I think that her "loving and rather over enthusiastic barber" cut about 4" off . . . . on one side that is . . .  .

So, then we took her to a stylist A REAL Stylist and now it looks like this:

Although my Mom did cry quite a few tears over the drastic change in the length and style of her dear baby's hair -- I think that everybody is starting to get used to the change and thinks she's rather cute.

I mean -- how could Bethany be anything but cute?

And although she was rather tramatized at first . . .  I think that she rather likes it now. She keeps going to the mirror and looking at herself and saying "I'm Coote." So, sometimes change is good . . . and thanks to Matthew and his major skills -- Bethany is cuter than ever! At least in my unbiased opinion!  

There is a place of quiet rest Near to the heart of God, A place where sin cannot molest, Near to the heart of God. There is a place of comfort sweet Near to the heart of God, A place where we our Savior meet, Near to the heart of God. There is a place of full release Near to the heart of God, A place where all is joy and peace, Near to the heart of God. O Jesus, blest Redeemer sent from the heart of God, Hold us who wait before thee -- Near to the heart of God.
