the kids scream, i scream, we all eat ice cream

I am a feedback type of person. I need perpetual feedback. Seriously people.

Happy news: Meghan is home! She and Dan moved back to the midwest. He'll be teaching at Madison again. Of course, she's leaving right away for a fabulous trip to Europe (in which I will go through horrible withdrawals not being able to talk to her every day), but then she's back for good. And a three hour drive is much better than a three hour flight!


Andrew took this picture, I have no idea what was so funny.


Yesterdays ice cream outing:



Oz wouldn't taste it.




(confession: i sorta think he looks a little like hitler when his hair is pushed to the side like this)

Haircut Friday

I have sweaty boys (not to be confused with Schweaty Balls). Carter's had a million hair cuts, but I had to have three people talk me into cutting Oz's hair. I'm not sorry I did it, he'll be much cooler now, but I am very sad about it (which is funny because Carter had his first haircut at 5 months old and I didn't bat an eye).

Before:






After:

photo dump

zoo with heather and back yard

(I nearly peed my pants laughing while she posed for this. I scared some lady away)

(the infamous red crocs, on the wrong feet, no less)

first night together

Who knows how often he'll actually sleep in there with Carter, but we're trying it out tonight. It's so bittersweet. If I knew I was going to have more babies I'd probably just work on nightweaning him and have him sleep with Carter, but since I think he's my last I feel like I should cherish every last second of it because pretty soon that chapter of my life will be over.
