So things have gotten a little crazy around our house. Madsen and I were trying to help Josh out at work as much as we could before our vacation, and then we've been out of town for the last 2 1/2 weeks. We had an amazing time in Florida and a much needed relaxing time in Virginia. So one of our first orders of business back at home was a haircut for Madsen. I had promised my mom that I wouldn't cut his hair until she got to see him, but boy did it need to be cut. It got so long and heavy because it's thick, that even if I brushed it every morning it would still fall into his eyes no matter what. At first I had thought that I would only cut the front, but after doing so I realized it looked so funny being short in the front but long every where else. So we went for a full on hair cut. I'll admit though that I'm still not used to seeing him with short hair. It makes him look quite a bit older, which makes me sadder to realize my baby's a big boy now. It was my first haircut and I'm happy to say that I think it turned out pretty well considering it was my first and to a very squirmy and wiggly almost 11 month old. I did forget to take a before picture, but posted one that we took at Disney World that does a good job of showing how long it really got. Also to update everybody, Madsen finally is crawling! However he still prefers to walk, and prefers to do it while only holding onto one of my hands or my shorts. It seems these days my shorts are always sagging at the end of the day. He loves to crawl as fast as he can to me and grab my shorts to walk next to me as I do chores around the house. His new favorite toy that he always seems to find, even though Josh tries hiding it, is the dust pan. I'm not sure why. I will definitely later post pictures of Florida and a video of him crawling later. But I wanted to assure everybody that we are fine and plan on actively rejoining the blogging world.

Look at how much hair I cut off and that's not even all of it!
