First things First

So there have been a lot of "firsts" the past few weeks. I'd first like to give a shout out the the Geek Squad at Best Buy for fixing my computer so I can finally get things done!

The FIRST Haircut! Maddox had his first haircut at 4 months old. That is pretty early for my kids but as you can see from the "before" picture it was greatly needed. It was a little tricky because they can't just sit up in a chair or on your lap. Good thing Aunt Kayde is such a pro that she can cut hair in any position.

Then Abby and I made her FIRST back to school craft. If you know her (ok, us) then you know we couldn't just take any old plain notebook to school. We had to craft it up.

After:

Walker lost his FIRST tooth at 5 yrs old!  The tooth fairy left her usual letter and $1.  Not sure what he was more excited about, losing his first tooth or finally being able to buy this set of dinosaurs he’s been eyeing for a while.

The FIRST day of school!  It’s finally here!  Walker started Kindergarten and Abby is now in 2nd grade.  Abby is excited to be back in school.  Walker still asks if he has to go back every day.

If you haven’t seen my husband for a while then you wouldn’t have seen the beard he’s been sporting.  It all started a few weeks ago when he went on a fishing trip with the brother in-laws and my dad.  They didn’t shave during the entire trip.  He hasn’t shaved since then until Sunday afternoon.  He shaved in stages but I won’t bore you with those pictures (unless you request them because they are as good as the ones he did 5 yrs ago) but I will share these ones.  The boys felt a little left out that they didn’t have facial hair until this happened…..

It’s been busy few weeks but from the looks of things, there is a FIRST time for everything!
