Henry's First Haircut

Henry got his very first haircut this past weekend. Although his crazy hair was super cute, he was starting to look a little homily (and his hair a little like a mullet). It is crazy how different he looks with boy hair!! He was a trooper for the whole process, including when the lady used trimmers. He just chilled out - quite a different experience from the traumatic reaction David had through not only his first haircut, but for about the first 10 or so!

Other weekend fun - a visit to Chuck E Cheese and lots of time outdoors enjoying the amazing weather.

Christmas Jammies

Can you see the resemblance?

5 years and 15 months

We had the kids annual check-ups with Dr. Brown this past week. Everyone is doing great! David is, thankfully, done with shots for a while...so he engaged in some schadenfreuden-ish behavior while watching Henry get his vacanations. Here are the boys stats:

David:

Weight - 44 lbs 8oz (70%)

Height - 3'9" (85%)

Henry:

Weight - 20lb 15oz (15%)

Height - 31" (25%)

Head - 19.25 (90%)

Clearly, combined, we have one average child.   

Happy Birthday Matt

Matt's birthday was on November 20th. We went to Vegas the weekend before, which was partly in celebration of his birthday, so his actual  birthday was pretty low-key. He had to work late, so David, Henry and I made him a steak dinner at home and brought home a cake from Whole Foods. We were planning on baking him a cake, but David saw the one pictured below and just had to buy it (of course, entirely for Daddy...). I planned to get Matt the new iphone for his birthday, but with work, then going out of town..I sort of waited until the last minute and didn't realize they were sold out everywhere still. After taking two boys to 4 stores looking for a phone, we decided to order it via mail... So..Matt got an iphone to be delivered in 3-7 days! And some awesome handmade cards from the Boys!

Baseball Party and Vegas

The last few weeks have been super busy. David had his end of fall season tee ball party on November 13th - which also happened to be the week that my company released earnings, filed quarterly report and held board meetings. On the Thursday, as soon as board meetings wrapped up, Matt and I headed off to Vegas for a long weekend get-away. Special thanks to Hayley and Granny D for watching the boys so we could get in some couple time. We had so much fun!!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween...Halloween, Halloween

We had a fabulous Halloween. I took the day off (which, in and of itself, was amazing) so that I could take David to school and watch the parade, serve as room mom/host for the Halloween party and then get ready for the party at our house on Halloween evening. It was a blast.

Blast from the past. Here are the same set of kids over the past few years:
