Anyway, on to the happy stuff. My brother graduated, the day before Mother's Day, and we had a great time celebrating his accomplishments and triumphs. Regan provided yummy food, most of us took a turn at playing Rock Band, we chatted and the kids played. It was wonderful. Way to go, Brent!
The pictures of Jonathan's family came out great. Unfortunately I can't show you how fabulous they are because they haven't sent me the sitting, yet. I think it's because "Lisa" has a Smile Store account, but "Jonathan" does not.
Joseph got his summer haircut. I did it myself (I do everyone's hair, normally) and we had a minimum of wiggling and screaming. What's the trick? Stick him in a Bumbo-thing on the bathroom counter so he can see, then use electric clippers while you hold his chin still. It actually took two passes (in the evening after his bath and again in the morning) since his hair was so long, but he did really well the second time. I can tell that he's way more comfortable, too, with the added ventilation. The second picture is a bonus for Callie. See? Will's not the only one.
We've been going to the pool about once every week or two, and the kids are starting to warm up to it. Last time we went, I'd forgotten how cool it actually was, outside. It's a good thing we only had ~45 minutes to swim because everyone was a bit chilled by the end. The new showers are great, though, and really warmed us back up before we headed home.
The baby is super wiggly. Jonathan's felt it kick, once, but we haven't really tried to get other people to feel, yet. It's still at the Slow-Popping Popcorn stage, instead of real serious kicks or Toes Wedged Under The Ribs (both the other two loved that one) so it's still fun and a little surprising, no matter how active the baby gets.
That's about it. I'll try to be better about this. Not daily (I get too grouchy when I'm trying to post) but still current.

love the pics and the updates! You are very brave to try the clippers all by yourself. I don't think I would have the courage to do that! But his hair looks great. I hope the pregnancy continues to go well and that you don't get too many hard kicks, at least not yet anyways. :).
The joy of clippers is that the length is controlled for you. You might need a second person to keep the wiggler still while you do the shorter length on bottom, just to keep the transition line smooth, but the rest of the time it's basically a comb that hums while it works. They're pretty foolproof, and the only way to go with little kids.
