Brillo Head

My son is a brillo head. Well, he was. We finally pinned him down long enough to buzz his head. Seriously, this kid is crafty. He is terrified of getting his hair cut, and he would do anything to avoid it. For instance, we had this fab idea of cutting it while he was asleep, every time he would fall asleep on Ricky's lap, I would walk in with the scissors, and his little eyes would pop open and he would start laughing. MANIACAL! Anywho, we just fought him and used the clippers. It doesn't look great, but at least it's (mostly) short.

Updates

A few things have happened recently that I thought I might like to share:

1. Ricky got a temporary summer job at the Site! Woo hoo! The extra money will be super nice, but we are most excited about him hopefully getting his foot in the door there and making some good contacts. We would love him to work there after he gets through school!

2. I just harvested my first veggies of the summer! I have a container garden on my porch, and I just harvested some lettuce. My beans are about 3 inches tall, and my tomato is going gangbusters with lots of little blossoms budding. Yay!

3. Kyle is cute as a button still. He sleeps through the night now! I didn't know if I would ever know what a good nights' sleep would feel like ever again, but dreams do come true. He still refuses to walk, but that doesn't stop him from getting up on furniture and basically being faster than me, even though he's on all fours.
