Little boy haircut and a trip Up North

Josiah's hair has been growing like crazy lately!  He has beautiful, soft curls in the back that are adorable but as his hair has gotten longer in the past few weeks, the baby curls have turned reminiscent of a Tommy Puett type mullet....no good!  But never fear faithful Blog readers, it was Auntie Blair to the rescue!!!  In general, we did not want our baby to look like an 80's teen idol but to add to the need for a haircut, he will be meeting some very special people this weekend so we want him to look his best!  As some of you know, I spent MANY summer days during my youth at "the cottage up north".  More specifically, Grandma Sissy (Becker) took Robin and I to visit our Aunt Jan and cousins at their lake home in Minocqua, WI.  We had SOOO many good times there and have extremely fond memories!  Unfortunately, life has gotten busy and we have expanded in numbers and our times up north have grown few and far between.  Happily, we are able to make this coming weekend one of those rare trips!  Grandma Sissy, Josiah and I will be headed up to the great north woods of Wisconsin to visit Aunt Jan, Cousin Courtney and her little girl Carly (2 yrs old), Cousin Bill and his two kids Madison (4 yrs old) and Cooper (9 mo old).  We are SOO excited to see everyone and can't wait to meet the little ones in person!  Minocqua, look out, we're baaaaaacccckkk!!  Stay tuned next week for a full report for up nort der!  In the meantime, here are a couple pictures from the big haircut.

All done, thank you Auntie Blair!!!
*Note Miles in the background quickly digging things out of the cupboard while we were all distracted with Josiah...I sense this could become a routine with the two of them as they get older, one distracts while the other makes off with treats and goodies:-)
