More pictures that didn't make their own blog post...

We went for a haircut and the stylist thought she'd have some fun with our youngest. Check out the results...

He was interested in microphones and decided to try out a little singing...



My daughter's birthday was last month. She received lots of cool gifts but the only one I got a picture of was the hula hoop.

Getting ready to spin

Hip action

She asked for an ice cream cake for dessert. We used a recipe for a tiramisu ice cream cake. The toughest part was making the lady finger cookies stand up before the ingredient were poured into the middle. The final result was fabulous!

Our oldest son started a baseball summer camp that emphasizes all sorts of specific skills. He loves it. The coach asks for parent participation to get the most out of the practices. I love it.

Throwing from third to second

More of the same

Second to first to get the runner out

Good form!

The library is just starting up summertime story times, so made it to one where the word of the week was "opposites," including a gumball craft...

A little coloring

A lot of gumballs

Opposites--empty and full!

The First Haircut

The baby has passed his first year. Unfortunately, his hair has been growing too long. Twice he's been identified as a she at stores. It was time for a hair cut. Mommy took him to the local barber where he's seen us get our hair cut, hoping that he'd be more comfortable. Things started out okay since he got to sit in Mommy's lap.

The phone is blocking his view of the instruments on the table

Once things got going, he became more stressed out.

Wait a minute, what's going on here

Here come the scissors

Not so comfortable

He never cried out loud but he was surely an unhappy camper.

What have you done to me!?!?!

At least he looks like a boy again!

The only advice I can pass on to other parents is to steel yourself for your child's discomfort. It's unavoidable but well worth it for the results.
