hair cuts and laziness

Man oh man have I got a story to go down in the books today!! OK so today is one of the first Saturdays that Matthew and I have had absolutely free of things to do in a while. So what do we decide to do? Be lazy of course! The morning started off great with Matthew making us pancakes for breakfast and then it moved right along into our laziness. We decided to be a little bit productive because it was about time for Matthew to have his hair cut. I am his own personal barber, or so I thought. There was a bit of an incident with the hair clippers that I bought him for Christmas. First off there was the fact that I forgot to put the guard on the clippers before I started to cut his hair. Thus there was a little bit to much hair cut off in the back! I felt so bad about this because I felt like I ruined his hair. Normally I am a great barber, honest. Matthew, however, being the amazing husband that he is, did not get mad in the slightest. He actually thought that it was funny! He made me feel so much better about my little mistake. The second incident with the clippers led to an even more dramatic ending. The darn things would not cut more than a centimeter at a time without pulling his hair out of his head! I had to stop. And we went to Great Clips!! We both got hair cuts and Matthew's looks great. You can't even tell that I had a little mess up.

But yeah today has been a great day. We got a couple redbox movies and came back to the apartment. More laziness and spaghetti for dinner! What a wonderful day of laughs and excitement with my husband! Wish every day could be like today (without the hair woes).

Moving Right Along

So with the due date nearing and the anticipation of finally being able to hold our precious baby girl, I thought that I would share a little bit of my everyday normal for now!  I am one day away from being 38 weeks along and let me tell you:  I have one active baby inside me!  Yes, she loves to move around and kick/punch mommy in the gut, ribs, and pelvis!  Some of these kicks are so strong that I actually jump!  For those of you that don't believe it could get that bad...oh have I got a treat for you!  I recorded a mere 1.5 min video of my belly!  Now this video is only a small taste of what she does ALL DAY LONG!  And yes at night too!  It's no wonder I have such a hard time sleeping.  So without further ado, here is Ms. Isabella Marie Ohrvall staring in her first movie entitled:  Making Waves in Mommy's Tummy.  :) Update on presentation:  Isabella is still breech and we are diligently trying all that we can to ...

Seated with Christ: An Imaginative Activity

This post is from an imaginative activity prompted from the book "Seated with Christ" by Heather Holleman.  The question posed was: "As an imaginative exercise, describe your seat in the heavenly realms with as precise and vivid detail as possible.  What do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?  What are you wearing?  What are you experiencing in your mind?"  The following is my answer: I'm seated, comfortable and relaxed.  I have no worries.  All I can physically do is sit and stare at the majesty that is my most indescribable Lord that sits before me.  The most magnificent smells of the Earth can not compare to the wondrous smells that permeate the air here.  They remind me of some of my favorite smells on Earth such as lavender, the beach and pine wood needles; but there is something else entirely in the air that I can not put words to.  The songs of angels saturate the air but seem to fade into the background at the same time. ...

Australian Vacation

Hello all!   I know that it has been quite a long time since I last posted a blog but I decided it was time for another post.  Having a little one crawling all over the place really takes up my time now-a-days.  Infact, the only reason I am able to write this now is because she is napping.  Maybe I will be able to get this done in the time it takes for one nap...we shall see.  So here it goes. This past week the Ohrvalls' took a much needed vacation to Cairns, Australia.  Matthew and I had such a blast taking Isabella on her first family vacation but it was difficult to transition our old vacationing without kids mindset and bring it to a vacationing with a baby mindset.  It is quite different going on vacation with an 8 month old than it is with just two adults.  Needless to say, we spent a lot more time in the hotel room during nap time and at parks for playtime.  But we were still able to do a lot of really fun stuff as a family that we ...
