snip, snip

it was time...i love the curls, but it was time to clean up jack's permanent state of bed head with a trip to get his hair cut. we went to a place in chestnut hill specializing in kids cuts. they have all sorts of themed chairs, dvd player, etc...nothing was interesting to jack, who once the scissors came out the tears followed. the woman cutting his hair (who got tipped very well) remarked how strong he was as he thrashed about. we all survived the trip and the curls for the most part remained in tact.

fire trucks are fun, right?

yikes! (hysterics followed and i had to put the camera down to restrain him)


after


eating pizza for lunch with my new hair cut.

go h2l2

so, whether he likes it or not, jack has had the pleasure of attending all of the H2L2 softball games this year - hey we are 5-0, perhaps he's good luck! this past week's game was especially fun as i returned to the mound for the first time in 2 years and pitched a 5-inning shutout before the reliever (i.e. the coach) took over. ok, but enough about me - we've gotten some great photos courtesy of kristi (who is now engaged to vince - yeah!) and nicole, the team "photographer." enjoy!

watch out for those rocks

ouch. not looking where he was walking and mom and dad not sitting close enough to catch him, jack took a little spill out front and landed face down in the rocks. he more crumpled vs. fell but has the scratches to show for it. dad gave him a nice warm bath and then we read lots of books before going to bed. he was back up and running around the very next day. the first of many scratches, bumps and bruises to come i'm sure. boys.
