Tri Gets His First Haircut

Well, "First", is perhaps not entirely accurate.  We have attempted on a couple of occaisions to cut his hair. I suggested we pull out my electric razer and shave his head a couple of months back.  I assured Virginia that we could place it on setting 4 and it wouldn't cut to close.  Well, Tri did not appreciate the razer and we ended up shaving a couple of different spots bald, so this time it was off to the barber.

We thought this would be far easier.  There is a chain of children's barbers that have toy cars that the kids sit in, and TV screens showing cartoons that the kids can watch as they get their hair cut.

You be the judge as to how successful this was at distracting Tri.

Some recent changes in my life

I've found that being a father has given me a new sense of rhythm. I've taken to dancing most weekends with colleagues from work. Below is a quick little number we performed last weekend (I'm on the bottom right).

Morning Routine

A quick video of Cai just before she turned 1 year old. I realize in the video, I say, 1 years old, but I'm posting it anyway.



This next video is a quick shot of our kids as they play in bed with us one morning. The kids love to open the curtain behind our bed and look at how bright it is outside. Typically the sun is just rising, so I guess it's not that early, but boy it sure feels early on some mornings.

Cai Likes to Snuggle

Every evening we spend 15-25 minutes watching Sesame Street. Here you see Cai and Tri as they snuggle with Mommy. What Cai finds so amusing we're not sure, but we're always happy to see her having fun.

Cai Turns One Today

Happy Birthay, Cai.
Cai has been teething the last week so she's been sleeping with us. So we awoke to find a one year old girl in our bed, for the first time ever. When Tri awoke, we brought him in and recorded her first few awake moments as a one year old.
We're off to the beach house (www.tlrentals.com) after school today to spend a week with our friends Eric and Kathy and their two kids.
The video below is from this morning.
