At some point, this is gonna become crazy

Yesterday we took Matthew for his second haircut. The place we take him is an hour ride from our house. I know...I know...it's nuts to drive an hour for a haircut for an 8 1/2 month old, especially with gas prices so high. For now, at least, he doesn't go very often, so it's not completely crazy. It's been about 8 weeks since his last haircut, and it probably could have gone a little longer. In any event, we enjoy the place and enjoy making an afternoon of it.

And so we did yesterday. We asked Nanna and Poppy to join us, to watch the haircut and have some lunch afterward. We had a great afternoon. Matthew got a real short cut - I wasn't terribly fond of the girl cutting his hair, but she did a fine job. (I'm admittedly a bit partial to the Italian woman who cut his hair last time.) Here's a shot of him with a fauxhawk mid-cut....

After the haircut, we went for lunch at Flatbread Company, just like last time. And just like last time, we stuffed ourselves with pizza, and couldn't resist dessert - gingerbread and apple crisp - perfect fall flavors! Here's a picture of Matthew hanging with Nanna and Poppy on the couch...

After lunch, we did a little shopping and then headed home. Somehow, we were gone for 5 hours! Not sure how that happened! Thanks for coming with us, Nanna and Poppy!
