There's a first time for everything....

As promised in the post below, here is the follow-up post about Amber's first haircut. Things started off well enough...

the bib's a little too big, but ok...

the "windblown look" isn't exactly Amber's style
(check out Andrew's smile in the background)

just a little off the back...


...and the sides

sooo glad we're done =)


I love the wording: "has bravely met all the requirements..."

And just in case you were wondering (you know you were...) if Amber looks more like Mom or Dad, here is a picture of me (Vanesa) at her age, and I had even less hair than she does!

The Zoo, The Easter Bunny and tons of Easter eggs

We enjoyed our first visit to Zoo Boise last Saturday, as well as Amber's first Easter egg hunt. Amber seemed to be more interested in the plastic and wooden animals we found at the Zoo, but she still had a great time and perfected her tiger / lion roar (raaargh!). We had a 2nd Easter egg hunt today at the church. Check out the pictures below...

Zoo & Easter

Amber also had her first haircut today, but that is the subject of another post entirely... (see above)
