Nathan's New Do

In the past month way too many people have mistaken Nathan for a girl. I figured this meant it was time for a hair cut. I thought I would try cutting it myself, though I have absolutely NO experience. I began by looking online for tips and how-to guides, but I still didn't feel confident enough. In the end I decided to leave it to the professionals (and then maybe watch and see how they do it for future reference.) I took him this morning, and he was a perfect angel. He sat on my lap as still as could be. Whenever he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror he would break out into a huge smile. It was so stinkin' adorable! So here we are, the before:




and the after: (they gave him a sucker which I let him play with, thinking that he wouldn't be able to get the wrapper off...by the time we got home the wrapper was almost disintegrated and he was going to town on the sucker)

He totally reminds me of his cousin Kaleb in this picture:

I love the haircut because I think it makes him look chubbier! Haha. He also looks a lot older to me, which is kind of sad. Overall though, I'm very pleased! Plus, an added bonus, it will be much easier to clean out all the food he likes to smash into his hair!

Fathers Day

So I know I am a couple of months late on posting this, but I figure better late than never! This year for Father's Day I didn't put in NEARLY as much work as I did last year for Curtis' gift. Last year Curtis got the best gift ever on Father's Day, a beautiful baby boy! There really wasn't much of a chance of topping that, but Nathan and I did the best we could to make this year special too.

Nathan helped me pick out pictures to put in a card, and then hand delivered it to his Daddy. (I wish I would have taken a picture of that but it totally slipped my mind.)


Nathan also helped pick out a gift for Curtis, I showed him a few options on the computer screen and this is the one he chose to make:

which I think was a great choice! Curtis' final gift was from me, and while not as exciting as the birth of our first child, I thought it was still a pretty good gift. I mean, who doesn't like shirts?

Happy Father's Day Curtis!
