Day camping at Lake Lanier.  We were supposed to camp this weekend with our friends the Parkers and Melendezes.  In the end, we decided to just go up for the day.  The weather was supposed to drop into the high 30s at night and we aren't prepared for colder weather camping.  I felt bad backing out on our friends, but I wasn't going to convince Adam to stay, and I didn't want to have Keaton out in the cold.  Even though we didn't stay the night, we had a great day at the campsite with our friends.

Keaton




Keaton tried the jumper for the first time today.  She liked it.  Too bad the only doorway we have for it is in the basement.

Chewing on a carrot.  I haven't given Keaton solid foods yet, but I have let her chew on whole peeled carrots.  She loves them.

Today was Natasha's last day in town.  Taryn took Ellary to her last tennis class for the season and the rest of us headed off to the airport.  Finally, on the last day, we got a group shot of us girls.

The girls

Natasha watched the girls while I got my hair done.  After Ellary got home from school, they met me at the salon.  The lady took FOREVER to do my hair, but the girls had a blast playing salon in the meantime.

Surprise!  Now that my hair has been washed a few times it isn't this dark anymore.  It's fine.  I am rolling with the color, but it isn't anywhere near what I asked for.  I asked her to match my roots (dark blonde/light brown).  I didn't want obvious grow out since I never get my hair done.  Well, this is no where near my natural color... I guess I will have to make getting my hair done a priority in the coming weeks because my gray hair and lighter roots are really going to stand out soon.

We took a jungle tour around Tahiti.
