Our first haircuts: Loved it, hated it!
July 26, 2008: Henry and Elsbeth went for their first real haircuts. Steph and I have trimmed their hair at home before this but today was their first time the "chair". Herny loved it and sat still the whole time. Elsbeth on the other hand hated her cut. She cried and bucked in the chair the entire 47 seconds the stylist spent cutting her hair. Perhaps next time will be better.
Indy Party
We hosted a Raiders of the Lost Ark dinner party at our house next last month. Hays and I were Dr. Jones; he as the professor and me as the adventurer. I'm holding the leg of lamb we enjoyed for dinner.

June Gloom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"June Gloom" is also the title of a song by The Like, as well as a song by The Ditty Bops.
June Gloom (also May Gray) is a California term for a weather pattern that results in overcast skies with mild temperatures during the late spring and early summer. The condition is prevalent in many parts of the world where marine stratus or stratocumulus clouds are common, particularly off the western coasts of continents—especially off Peru, Namibia, Western Australia, and California. Such cloud systems are persistent year-round off the coast, yet in certain seasons they blow ashore and create the gloomy "May Gray" effect on land. The June Gloom phenomenon has also been known to occur during the early fall in California.
Early mornings during this period are typically foggy, with an occasional drizzle. The fog turns to low clouds by late morning and early afternoon. Finally, by late afternoon, solar heating is sufficient to evaporate the clouds. Often the overcast will be evaporated ("burned off") quickly inland, but will linger along the immediate coast.
In California, the number of days from May to June that are gloomy vary from year to year. Cooler ocean temperatures, associated with La Niña, usually foretell a more gray period.
June Gloom has been reported by some Californians to bring on symptoms consistent with seasonal affective disorder. It is often cited as a time of depression.
Elsbeth and Henry feeding the animals
Across the street from Aunt Kris' house in Santa Barbara is a park full of animals. Elsbeth enjoyed feeding the ducks and turtles while Henry preferred feeding the sharks!

Walking
After about 3 weeks of watching her brother walk, Elsbeth decided to join him. This shot was taken about 3 days after her first steps.

All four of us spent a few days in Florida the weekend before Christmas. Henry and Elsbeth had their first meeting with Santa, and nobody cried!
