First Haircut

Before:

In process:

After:

I didn't do an all-over cut... I just cut enough to get it out of his eyes. It's going to reduce his comb-over too, so it will likely stick up more on the top of his head where he has opposing cowlicks. Too cute!

Today's Nathan quote:

"Daddeeeeee... you broke my circle. That was not kind. You need to say you're sorry to me."

New Nathanisms

Looking out his window when Nathan woke up Saturday morning: "Look! It's snowing! It must be Christmastime!"

Eating pizza (and salad) for dinner tonight: "Why is Daddy taking all the pieces?"

On a separate note, Micah is not sleeping well. Sometimes it's just general fussiness. Sometimes there's air/gas in his stomach that needs to be vented. But other times he's quite uncomfortable and it appears to be lower GI-related. In any case, we're all pretty exhausted around here and could use your prayers.

This is a photo of Micah the day before he went into the hospital at the end of September (this was taken a few hours after Nathan's birthday party). Micah NEVER sleeps on his tummy, but this was the only way he would sleep that day, and we had to pat his back to get him to fall asleep. He was really sick.

Quite a difference from this photo, huh? He's doing a great job sitting up in his Bumbo seat for extended periods of time.

Here's the whole family on Sunday after Micah's baby dedication at church

Lion cub

I'm a little biased, but isn't Micah the cutest, brave lion cub you've ever seen? I couldn't decide which picture to post, so you get three.

If you're wondering why there are no photos of Nathan in his costume, well, that's because he refused to wear it. He spent Friday afternoon being completely ornery. He was a grump at the neighbor's party (which was soooo fun... they even had an inflatable bouncy thing) and he wouldn't don his costume to go trick or treating. He was a true joy. I guess we all have our moments, but his are coming way too frequently these days. :-(
