Babies' First Haircuts! and backyard tenting


a long nap all together. ezekiel has started having shorter naps (1.5 hours) but if i bring him into my bed after he can sleep up to another 2 hours!

Babies' First Hair Cuts! July 9 2008

i have been harassing derek to let me cut ezekiel's hair for several months. he finally said yes and so i gave him the camera and went to town (well, not really, i just wanted to trim those silly bangs on my boy!)

hoping he can trust me...

feels lighter

i like it!

"I can see!!!"

one more smile for the camera!

not sure what brought this on, but it looks fun.

diedre said she wanted her hair cut too. she said "i want it like yours mommy." and i said "no, not like mine silly, but i will cut off those extra long pieces from the back."

she had three sections of long hair that are from her baby hair.

after the haircuts, daddy went for a run. here he is teaching the kids how to stretch with him.

ezekiel loving the shorter locks

diedre's hair instantly looked fuller and healthier

setting up the tent

ezekiel was helping sherpa the load outside

diedre carried her share too

helping daddy hold up the tent

a photo op by the tree trunk. ezekiel is so cute and always carries around little planks of wood around the yard. he was using some to hack away at this trunk. i hope he wasnt bitten by any ants or spiders. he is also really loving spiders right now and when he sees a bug fly by, he puts his hands up and says, "pider, pider."
