1st Haircut

So, if you know TJ, you know that he likes his hair short. What I didn't expect is that he wanted to take Erik to the barber so soon. He really doesn't have any hair yet. There were a couple of strands that were longer than the others- but who could tell? Really? Anyway, husband took the baby for his first "trim". I thought you might enjoy. :)

Kyoto

Well friends, TJ finally came home! Yeah! We decided to take a trip to Kyoto to celebrate and initiate him back into the world of sippy cups, diapers, and no napping. Out time was spent visiting Nijo castle, gawking at the Golden Pavillion, hanging out at some huge temple that we still don't know the name of in the Gion district, going up to the top of the Kyoto tower, shopping at the huge 11-story mall that was attached to the train station, and spending an evening with a maiko (apprentice geisha). Cool, cool, and more cool. :) The Shinkansen (bullet train) was everything we thought it would be, namely fast. Overall, it was a fabulous trip and we are so happy to have Daddy home.
