While Dustin and I were watching the CMA awards tonight, Gehrig (4 1/2) came downstairs rockin’ out with the music stars showcasing his new “everything look.”  We call it the Space cowboy n’ Indian ready to rock look!

A couple of days ago it was time for haircuts. Rachel and I mutually agreed to use the clippers on my head and give me a buzz of sorts. I look pretty funny because of my cone head and receding hairline. I’ve come to terms with it though. Afterwards it was Gehrig’s turn for another summertime buzz. As he was sitting there with his chin pressed into his chest watching his hair fall to the ground he said, "Why are you cutting my brown hairs?"

Apparently Gehrig wants to fit in. He’s the only blonde in the family. He was born with blonde hair and blue eyes, but after about a year and a half his eyes turned green. Now his hair is starting to darken. He likes that because he wants to look like me, so he was pretty concerned to see that we were cutting his "brown hairs".

I found this note on the fridge:

Gracie got some play-dough from school. She made a little pie and left it on the counter. I guess she was afraid I would eat it.
