Hair Cuts

Before the cut...

After-after the 20 minute scream fest of a haircut and a stop at McDonalds for ice cream and the play place, that is. This was haircut #3 for Krieg. The first went great. The second was bearable. He didn't like it, but there was no screaming involved. This one, however, was awful. From the minute we tried to put the cool fish cape on, to the second I finally said all done and stood up, he cried and screamed! If anyone has any suggestions for making future haircuts more bearable, I would love them. I am sure that if we lived closer than 2 hours to one of those kids cuts places where they have all kinds of distractions, I would pay the cost for it!  And by the way, Kevin and I always think Krieg looks like a totally different kid after his haircuts. 

On another note, we are headed back to the Leadership Project tomorrow for the last week. We are both looking forward to catching up with all the Western students and hearing all the things God has been doing in their lives. 

Weeding

Since we got back from the LP, Krieg has become an expert weed puller. You can imagine how out of control our weeds were after being out of town for the whole month of June. Needless to say, the two of us have spent many hours outside pulling them out, and Krieg actually asks to go pull them now. He has even gotten strong enough to get some of the smaller ones out of the driveway. Gotta love my gardener in training!

Back in the Mountains

We are back in the mountains after spending 5 weeks in Myrtle Beach. It is nice to be back in our own house, but we were sad to leave the students and all God is doing at the LP. Thankfully we get to go back for the last week of the Project to catch up with everybody. Here are a few pictures of Krieg at one of his favorite spots in Myrtle- the fountains at Broadway. Unlike most kids that we saw his age, he was totally unintimidated by the water shooting straight up into his face when least expected. He would just shake his head and go right back to playing!
