Austin turned 11 on Saturday! No big party, because Terry says he's too old for parties, but we'll do something with a few friends (a movie, maybe) in the next week or two.
Also on Saturday, Jake had is 2nd First Haircut. We cut the front on Labor Day while we waited out Gustav. That was the official First Haircut. I finally decided to cut his long side pieces...not because I wanted to, but because everyone kept hounding me about it. He looks like such a big boy now.
BEFORE....
He seems a bit concerned here......


AFTER...

Can you see the bruise in the middle of his head? He keeps bruises on his head from trying to climb and get in all the little spaces he can. He hasn't figured out yet to duck his head to go under something.

I cannot believe Austin is 11 years old!!! I remember when you first found out you were pregnant!!! WOW! Time flies, doesn't it? Did you cut his hair yourself, you brave girl?? I tried that twice and screwed it up both times...oh well...

Yes. I've cut his hair twice now, but I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do it. He's so busy. As long as Daddy is holding his head still, it's not so bad. I did get some smaller scissors, so that may help. The regular kitchen scissors are just too big.
