This Is 40: Craig Version (Part 1)
We all knew this day would come...we're turning 40 (cue sinister music). Craig kindly took the plunge first in January. We went with a tennis theme so while he was off playing with some friends, Dillon and I made some cupcakes and surprised him at the courts. Dillon also tested out her kid-sized racket.

Dillon's First Haircut
Well we managed to hold out for three years, but finally felt Dillon was due for a haircut. We didn't cut too much, but the hairdresser did a great job of giving her curls some shape. Also, they had donuts.

| Her first professional shampoo. |
 |
| Mid-cut. |
 |
| The blowout. |
 |
| And...voila! |

Even a Princess Needs to Work
Dillon has some chores--cleaning up her toys, putting her clothes in the hamper--that she is required to do and some chores--vacuuming (really!) and feeding the dog--that are extras we'll pay her to do. But just because you're feeding the dog doesn't mean you can't do it in style.

Dillon in a Box
While I wouldn't say Dillon loves boxes more than the toys that came in them, a big giant box is still cause for joy.
 |
| Where's Dillon? |
 |
| There she is! |
 |
| Box hiding makes a kid thirsty. |
 |
| Hi everyone! Special delivery. |

Sandy Beach Times
Dillon loves the beach--sand, water, sunshine. It's the recipe for a perfect day. Here she is making sand castles and taking a rest in a sandy trough.

San Elijo Lagoon
After having such a nice time the last time we went, we returned to San Elijo Lagoon. Dillon became very fond of Franklin the Turtle, who I'm guessing will outlive us all. I always love taking little walks with Dillon on one of San Diego's nature trails.
 |
| This kid loves benches. |
 |
| Twirling and whirling. |
 |
| Pigtails! |
 |
| Running...another favorite activity. |
 |
| Happy kiddo. |

Dillon Museum of Fine Art (VIII)
Dillon has been painting a lot these days. Most of it ends up on her, but a few strokes make it onto paper. I call this her "Black Flamingo Period."
 |
| Black Flamingo #1 |
 |
| Black Flamingo #2 |
 | |
| Dillon painted this at preschool then mailed it to me. "Dillon Girl and Mommy." |
 |
| A pink flamingo wall hanging made with Nanny Susan. |
 |
| This one is called "Not a Rainbow." |
