Haricuts and Horses, Part 1...

Greetings to all, I am typing this from a hotel in Mason City, Iowa. Ah... my life is just filled with all kinds of exotic travel. Like we said in our original post, we want to make sure that we are covering just as much good in our lives as we are covering Kari's victory over cancer. We just need to push ourselves to keep this up. We spent last Saturday with Kari's Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul at their home in Antioch. It was a good distraction to get away for a day and let the kids play. They have a beautiful home on a great piece of property. Outside of spending some time with the family, we took the chance to have Nancy give Katie her first haircut. After that, they let the kids ride their horses. Thanks much to Paul & Nancy. So... here are a few videos from Katie's first haircut. All in all, she did pretty well. We then took the chance to get James' hair cut also. He is a zombie in this video and that's my fault. His allergies have really been bothering him. I knew that the horses plus the dogs would probably bother him so I preemptively dosed him up with Benadryl. In the frenzy, I may have given him a little more than the recommended dose. You can tell that he a little off since he is sitting so still. After James took an unexpected and long nap on the couch, we went outside to ride the horses. I'll post pictures and videos from this when I get home tomorrow. Thanks again to Paul & Nancy for letting us come out to visit. It was a great distraction for us. Jay
