i'm sure you all really care, but i just love andie's new carseat. i've wrestled with our carseat for about four years with these kids, the straps have been twisted since day one. the cover is nearly impossible to get off to clean. and it now has so much juice and snacks spilled on it i can barely maneuver the latch. so recently someone in my mother's group was giving away her Britax carseat, which is the kind i originally wanted but couldn't see spending $200+ on it. it has seen better days but upon soaking the straps, cleaning it off, it was really the cover that made it look so bad. lucky me, i found the cutest custom-made cover from someone on eBay in dalmatian print and it is so cute! definitely suits andie now.




we finally felt we had grown out kieran's discount haircut sufficiently (okay, a bit more than that, the boy was looking a tad mullet-y) and upon suggestion from a friend, we took him to a barber. wow. he looks great. i was surprised at how thorough it was, and he smelled like a barbershop when we were home later!
