Jacob's First Haircut and Other Mischief

Isn't that a cute little scrunchy smiling face?? 

 Jacob was enjoying the horse...

 ... until the rest of the posse climbed on!

 12 Years of marriage may have finally taken its toll on us.  :)

Jacob thinks it's funny to steal Mathew's fuzzy.

 Peter discovered the "panorama" setting on our camera.

Peter asked me today if he should put the "backflow resistor device" in Jacob's sippy cup.

Patrick rang in the new year by losing teeth!  He had lots of ideas about who should pull his teeth.  Rachel his babysitter was his first choice, but she wasn't available.  So Peter was his second choice.

But Peter was a little timid about it and that didn't work out so well.

I wasn't timid, and it popped right out.

Patrick enjoyed a popsicle as a consolation prize, and was thrilled to tote around his tooth in a little glass jar for a couple days.

Today, he decided that his other tooth was loose enough, and began the whole process of choosing a tooth-puller again.  He picked everyone, but not Daddy!  Peter didn't want to try again.  After our Sunday guests politely refused, I got the privilege again.  So now Patrick and Jacob can work on new teeth together.  :)
