We went to a real salon to get Josh's hair cut today. The first couple of times he needed his hair cut when he was little we tried to go to some of those kids salons. They totally botched it. So I started doing it. While I think I've managed to do a pretty decent job, it has always been a fight, and not having the right tools, or training, I was never able to do the best of jobs. So I got fed up and made an appointment at a real salon. The one I found here (that I love! Hooray for finding a place to get my hair cut, another sign ATL may be home...) is the same one that I get my hair cut, and is an Aveda salon. If you ever need to find a great salon, search for an Aveda salon, their stylists are trained incredibly well.

Anyways, I will never cut Josh's hair again. I walked into the salon expecting to be embarrassed with the scene he would make at a nicer place (thus the 9:00 appointment time). Imagine my surprise when we left the salon about a half an hour later having not heard one peep of whining, crying or complaining. That has to be some sort of record for him! It has most certainly never occurred during a haircut. Not only that, but his hair looks so handsome. I was one proud mommy.

Hope everyone has a SUPER Bowl!

I put some new pictures up:






Here's a little taste:

My dear (and talented!) friend Katie Hillis from one of my favorite families in the whole world took these pictures for us while we were visiting STL.

We're looking forward to this weekend, we're taking Josh to a really neat indoor play area that we have found that is just down the street from us. He's also getting his haircut at a real salon. The kids places usually botch it, and I've been doing it for the past two years. Hopefully that goes well (we're bribing him with the trip to the play area!). This will also be the first time in 3 years that we will be doing something with friends for the Super Bowl! We're having one of the couples we've gotten to know down here over, and we're looking forward to being able to entertain for that celebration again! They have a boy named Crosby who is almost 2, and who Josh enjoys playing with.

Hope everyone enjoys the pictures and has a fun Super Bowl (go Cardinals!).

I've been bad about updating, I'm sorry.

Turns out having a life does make it more difficult to have time for things like blogging. Although I am very thankful to have a life again.

We had a lovely Christmas in STL. Here are the pictures:
