First Haircut!

Time marches on.  It seems like just yesterday that I had a bald baby boy, and this week he had his FIRST haircut.  I love every minute of it.

This is the "before" picture.  It is worth noting that Perrie is in the phase of picking her own clothes.  She ALWAYS picks dresses and tights - and some crazy combinations too.  Skirts aren't good enough and don't you dare suggest pants...

Buckled in and ready for a trim!

Looking sharp Mr. Isaac!

This is the "after" picture for both of them.  Cute.

To reminisce, Perrie waited until she was 2 yrs old for her first haircut -- though from the looks of this picture, she could have used one sooner!  (Jan 2011)

After!

Playground fun

There is a "5-year-old school" (as Perrie calls it) behind our house.  September has been particularly sunny so the school playground is a perfect destination for evening outings.  Perrie loves trying to meet new friends at the playground, and Isaac is happy as long as he has something to climb on.

SISTER!  I want that ball!

Isaac heads straight for the highbar.  Summer Olympics 2028, here we come!

and Perrie copies her little brother.

Isaac finally got that ball from his sister.

On the balance bike, ready to head home.  Perrie can really cruise on this bike these days.

See you tomorrow, playground!

OUTside

Now that summer has finally hit Seattle, the kids head love spending their time outdoors.  Now that Isaac is walking on his own, he heads straight for the back door when he gets up in the morning...

Blowing Bubbles

Playing football -- that is one cool move.

Working on a cooking project.

Comparing cars -- they are the same, kids.

Look Mom, it's an airplane!

Isaac grilling dinner.

And, of course, the mini-house supplies endless fun.

Ahh, sisterly love ...
