A Week in Minnesota: Family, Friends, First Haircut, & 2 Month Pictuures

We are back in Iowa City after 8 days in Minnesota.  Ben attended a conference in Washington D.C. last week so Asher and I decided to hang out with family while he was out of town.  I think everyone was happy for the opportunity to meet/spend more time with Asher before we move to New Mexico (which happens in FOUR days).  Below are a bajillion pictures from last week.

This picture is still Iowa City-- but makes me happy.  It is Ben's 'normal' situation at home around 8:00 p.m.

In the car-- look out Minnesota, here we come!

First Haircut

Someone needed a haircut last weekend (before turning 2 months old!).  His sideburns were getting in his eyes.  We left everything else, so he still has a mullet and can have a mohawk.  

He slept through the whole thing

Snip snip (looks like Ash might be in distress, but he is just snoozing with his mouth open)

This is a great series of pictures-- this marks the first 'blowout' that Asher has had, and of course it happened on Grandpa's lap.

"Hi Grandpa, look into my big blue eyes... you would never know I'm pooping my pants right now"

"Yep, see how I'm giggling, I know something you don't know..."

"Oh yes, your face says it all, you just realized I'm covered from nipples to toes in poop."

"Apparently pooping your pants means getting a bath in the sink.  Hmm."

Daddy is home!
