Catch up posting begins

It is kind of sad that I haven't posted anything in a while, so I decided that I am going to catch up on my posts as best as I can-sorry I let it go so long.

Happy 30th Birthday Michael!!!! We spent the day celebrating Easter at my Grandma's house with lots of family. Our activities included kite flying, Easter egg hunting, eating lots of great food and singing happy birthday to Michael. Sadly this was the last holiday that we will be celebrating with my Grandma at her house, because she passed away a few weeks later at the age of 90. For those of you who didn't know, she was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year, and we are very thankful that we were able to spend this last holiday with her. We miss her very much; each holiday will certainly be different with out her to share it with.

Big Haircut

We gave Ben a haircut this afternoon. It had started to get pretty shaggy, so we figured it was time. He has usually worked himself up so much during his haircuts that we wanted to try something a little different. We put him in his high chair and let him watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on my phone. This worked fairly well. He still cried, but not nearly as much.

My Grandpa Al used to call this look a "Baldy Sour". We think Ben likes it, and hopefully that will be the last haircut for a couple months.
