Ana's first haircut!

Here goes my first posting. I don't really know what I'm supposed to write about, and my life is pretty unexciting ( is that even a word?) so I'll do what any mom would do, I'll talk about my kids in order to avoid talking about myself. So...Ana's first haircut. It wasn't even a real haircut, it was just a bang trim-but oh how cute!
She actually had this "first haircut" about a month ago. She had a turn after Aunt Stacie cut daddies hair. Ever since then, whenever daddy gets a haircut, Ana insists on at least getting her hair washed at the sink. Ana now absolutely loves getting her hair washed and cut. She has had a real cut since these pics. She got her bangs trimmed again and a few layers to make the curl in her hair stand out (so says Aunt Stacie).


About Sophie...she's finally crawling at 9 1/2 months. She had been so content just sitting and playing with whatever was in reach (or just nothing at all) that she had absolutely no interest in becoming mobile. That is until she started spending more time with cousin Christopher who's just ahead of her developmentally. She had been dying to follow him as he crawled and eventually walked all over the place, until she finally took that first crawl herself. Now, whenever they're together, they follow each other from room to room and play their little games (the way that infants play). I haven't gotten a picture of that yet, but I'll post one shortly because it's oh so cute!

Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say about that. Until next time, bye.

We Bought A House!

It's taken us a long time to finally get on board the whole family blog movement, but after much prodding, we've finally done it. My biggest hang-up has always been the fact that I can't ever think of what to write. But here goes...

Our biggest update is probably that we finally bought a house! It should be ready for us to move in by September. It's been a lot of fun picking options and such and needless to say, we're very excited. We had to camp out all night so we could be in the front of the line and have first dibs on available lots. It was worth it as we chose a lot that has a yard twice the size of the standard lot. As luck would have it, that lot also happened to have Kathryn's favorite color scheme and style, so it all worked out very well. Here's some construction pics (probably more fun for us to look at, but whatever)...

I guess that's all I have for now. We'll certainly try to post regularly, although I think Kaf still requires a little more prodding ;)
