First Haircut

We have a photo session with the fabulous Heather Swanner coming up soon, so I wanted the kids to have haircuts beforehand.  Even though Peter has been cutting only Piper and Rosemary’s hair lately, we thought that he’d do a great job with Henry’s hair as well.  And since the other 3 kids were getting their hair cut, it only made sense to get Penelope’s hair cut, too.  She didn’t exactly have a mullet yet, but you could totally tell that one morning we were going to wake up and it would just be there.

Penelope only agreed to have her hair cut if she was holding a sucker and sitting in Gary’s lap.  And she was pretty discriminating about her haircut.

Definitely a great – and productive – Saturday.

Oh my, I love that photo of Henry at the salon! His face structure looks so much like my Patrick's...super cute kiddo (both of them!) :)

Funny I read this post tonight. I actually met your mom today at the salon! I had to stop by to deliver something to Haley and she was in the chair getting her hair colored! Such a small world. I told her how much I loved reading your blog!
