Roddie Report: First Haircut

It's official - my little man is not a baby any more!  *sniff*

he had his first haircut today, and while he's still adorable, he looks a lot less baby like. He's a little younger than Norah was the first time she had a haircut and he wasn't so enamoured with the whole trip to the salon thing, but he did well.  He sat on my lap and took it like the little man he is!

News Alert: Spring has Sprung!

You may or may not be aware that spring has sprung her in New England!  With temps in the high 70's and even approaching 80, it certainly doesn't feel like March! In addition, we've had an exceptionally mild winter with very little snow, so we're almost not ready for it!

Combine the warm temps with daylight savings time and you have a recipe for after-school fun!  Since I started the new job, Matt's been looking after pick-ups and he and the kids have been having out with our neighbor, Jack after school.  Jack and Norah are only a couple of months apart in age, leaving Roddie behind at times. That doesn't stop our little man from working really hard to catch up!  I must say, as the youngest of the neighborhood kids, (for now at least) he does a pretty impressive job at keeping up!
Yesterday there was some big stuff going down at work, and I didn't get home until late.  Matt sent me this picture of the kids having fun on their scooters!  Note how serious Roddie is LOL!

Norah News: Quality Time

February was a total blur around here - two birthdays, two work trips, and two cars died, so we bought two new cars.  Add to that a BIG deadline for Matt at work and the usual assortment of winter illnesses and suffice to say, we're glad to see Spring on it's way!

I've been anxious to start wearing sandals again, but with the remains of last summer's final pedicure still evident on my feet, I desperately needed a refresh before I pulled out the open toes!  The way the weekend was shaping up, it looked like we were going to divide and conquer on the Saturday errands, and the split turned out to be girls in one direction, and boys in the other.  I had been planning to go out and look after my toe issues later in the afternoon, but Norah's eyes lit up when I asked her if she wanted to come, so I readjusted my plan for the day - pedicures and lunch for us girls! 

Like many things with Norah, things are happening long before I ever imagined!  While I'm not really a big fan of little girls in nail polish, this was a fantastic treat for the two of us, and I hope we get to do it again many times in the years to come!
Norah got butterflies on hers!  Check out the cool tights from Aunt Zie!

Here's our girl, drying her nails.  She pulled over a stool that was "just my size" so she could reach.
