halloween

Cy's costume was thrown together at the last minute from his normal wardrobe (except the make-up of course). When they ran through the neighborhood, ringing doorbell after doorbell, it brought back distinct and fond memories of doing the same when I was a child.
Cyrus is already talking about what he will be next year.

chicago zoo with the Haaks

In early September, we met up with our friends, the Haaks, in Chicago. We had lived right next door to them in Seattle, and have missed them since we moved to the midwest. Now, they live in Bloomington, IN which makes Chicago a nice halfway point for both families. Our trip included the the public zoo, Shedd Aquarium, walks along the waterfront, and lots of smiles and laughter. It was as though we hadn't missed a day hanging out with Trish, David and Samantha.

the haircuts

FINALLY! Though I love Roland's long locks, they were getting a little unruly.

Roland, before the cut

Cyrus decided to get his done for his first day of school.

Each time we cut their hair, it gets it little easier, they are a little less sad.
