Eve Chopped Her Hair!

I caught her at it right before bed. I'm so sad. It was getting so long and pretty. I'll have to see if I can do anything about it tomorrow, but, she cut it shorter than her bangs, so it'll be a miracle if she looks like a girl for the next while.

A Money Funny

We have been working on changing the way we work with our money. We've been reading financial books like "Die Broke", "Total Money Makeover" and "The Millionaire Next door". We've also been listening to "Financial Peace University". Dh heard about this clip at church, we looked it up and laughed heartily, it's just so close to home right now.
