Tweet Ethan, Zach, Julia, Josh, Timmy and I have been on a little adventure. We started out this afternoon – hit traffic on the highway, stood in line at the airport, traversed through security (not an easy task with five kiddos), waited for our plane, traveled through the air, ended the short plane ride just [...]

Noah’s Haircut

Tweet A beard and mustache trimmer. A bald spot. A smiling little person. A shaved head. Yes, Noah re-enacted bits of a scene played out almost exactly a year ago. But this time it wasn’t quite so shocking.
