a spot that i love

This makes Daddy so proud, and will surely make all Wildcats proud too.

draw a dog

Gosh I have a lot of updates to make... maybe this weekend. For now, here's a funny McKenna story.

Duke and McKenna were drawing together last night. She asked him to draw a girl... holding balloons. He did. "Draw a dog with her," she asked. So he did. "Not a turtle, Daddy. A dog!"

mckenna's first haircut

It took me a long time to bring myself to cut McKenna's hair. She was bald for so long that it just seemed wrong to cut what little hair she has. But the poor kid spent so much time brushing her hair out of her eyes that I decided to cut her bangs. I was glad I did! It looks cute. I've since tried to trim the back of her hair too... with less success. I won't post pictures of that hack job.

rhett's first steps

Rhett took his first steps on October 7. When McKenna started to walk, it seems like we spent months holding her hands as she became stable on her feet. Not Rhett! Within a week he had walking figured out and hasn't stopped since.

look who's one

On September 25, Rhett turned one. Here are some pictures of our celebration at Chucky Cheese.

first haircut

Rhett had his first haircut tonight. It's a little short in the front, but let me tell you... it's not easy cutting a squirming baby's hair. It definitely looks better than it did.

scary ride

Sometimes strapping the kids in the car just becomes automatic. Today, Duke already had Rhett strapped in before he realized that he had accidently put him in McKenna's seat - facing forward. We had a very short distance to go and figured it wasn't worth taking him out again. After all, he'll be facing forward starting next week, so he better get used to it, right? As you can see, he wasn't sure about the new view.
