Big Boy Haircut!!

Hudson had his first 'big boy' haircut today. His hair has been hanging down in his eyes, and was getting a little crazy. It was starting to get a little long in the back, and I didn't want people to start thinking he was a girl!

So, on the recommendation of a few people, we took him to a 'first cuts' salon. It was right near Tennyson's work, so he was able to join us there during lunch. Hudson did a great job - he just played with the little airplane wheel on the chair and looked up every so often at the cartoons they had playing in front of the chairs. (He gave Sponge Bob a really big smile. Who knew they were friends?)

And now he looks very much like a little boy. Sigh. He's growing up so fast...

Oh what do you do in the summertime...

Well, it was bound to happen... summer is officially here. What that really means, though, is that we now have to find new things to keep us occupied. With this being my first summer to spend at home (and not just at work every day), I've discovered that I have two favorite activities so far - at least for days where the temperature hits the mid-80's or above:

1) Take Hudson to the pool so we can both cool off
2) Come up with any excuse to go somewhere with air conditioning (i.e. don't I need something from Target/Costco/grocery store/mall?)

I suppose my list would be different if we had air conditioning at home... and maybe when Hudson gets a little older we can add 'go to the beach' to the list, but for now, that's probably more effort than it's worth. (Can't say I'd be crazy about beach traffic with a grouchy baby in tow).

There you have it. Now if we could only figure out a way to take the crib somewhere with AC so that our poor baby isn't going to sleep in a 90 degree room... Thank heavens for fans!

So, it's been a while...

For a while now, I've been thinking that we should have a blog. Every time I'd get a new blog link from a friend, I'd think, "hmm... we should do that too." But then I'd never get around to actually making it happen. And then, one day, I remembered that we already had a blog! Voila! So here we are. And now I don't really feel like we are just jumping on the blogging bandwagon, because we've really been "bloggers" for a few years now! :)

Anyway - I don't really think there are many people who will even care much to read it, but I always love being able to keep up with friends and family who aren't close by (even some that are!). The plus for us is that I hope to be able to jot down those little life events that are so easy to forget. (Case in point is the entry I started a few years ago about our trip to Australia/New Zealand. It's too bad I didn't finish the story then, because now the details are all becoming a little fuzzy. At least I'll have the memory of losing our luggage!)

So there you have it. We'll see how good I am at keeping this updated, but it will be a fun adventure in trying! And I guess the best thing to do is just jump right in and pretend I've been posting all along!

(And eventually, maybe we'll be able to get this blog looking a little prettier... but for now, this will have to do!)
