Connor's First Hair Cut

It was time for our little guy to get his hair cut. His hair had gotten so long we had started calling 'hair boy'. I would love to say that he behaved himself and gave us lots of cooperation... but that would be a big lie!

Hair Boy

Here he is with Marla who was brave enough to cut Connor's hair. How she did it while he screamed, cried, and wiggled is beyond me.

Here is a side view.. no more long, curly hair.

Halloween

We had Larryboy and a little farmer this year. Connor's food allergies make halloween tricky (no pun intended) but the boys did well anyways. Nolan got lots of candy, Connor got a box of his special cookies, and both managed to get a toy.

Patio

Well.. we finally got our concrete pad outside of our walkout basement. It only took us six years to do it. This is only the first part of the plans we have for the walkout basement.

Early in the morning on Friday, October 27th, the concrete guys started their work. The boys were glued to the window the entire time.. they really wanted to go out and help.

Rosie was just as curious as the boys were.

This guy is tamping down the sand... Nolan said he was mowing the dirt.

I took Nolan out when Connor was taking a nap. He just had to get close to the bobcat.

The boys had to wait through the weekend before they could see the concrete truck.. boy were they excited when it arrived.

Looking at the west side of the concrete pad.

You can see Connor watching them run the screeder.. the thing that smooths the concrete.

The last of the concrete going in the southeast corner of the pad.

Nolan helped me put their shoeprints in the concrete.. he did a great job writing his name.

The finished product... now all we have to do is the retaining wall, the roof, and the siding.
