Five on Friday

Just some random notes:

1. Back at Halloween, I took Micah for a walk to talk about where he (and Asher and James) were allowed to go trick or treating. In reminding him to stick to the rules and not follow friends blindly (as he's apt to do, lol), he promptly pointed out that he knew all about that. Mr Yee (at karate) had already told him all about "indomitable spirit." And there's yet another reason to be thankful for Karate West. ;)

2. During that same walk, I made some comment about how sad it was that most of the trees were naked. Again with the quick retort, Micah explained that the trees didn't mind. They're not modest, after all...just like Asher, he laughed. Noah, on the other hand, he said, was more like a pine tree. LOL

3. For what it's worth, Asher's still swimming to improve his conditioning:

It was nice enough last week or so that we used the outdoor pool instead. His endurance is definitely improving.

4. Molly and I walked partially around Barr Lake last weekend. It was perfect weather for getting some steps and catching up...so lovely to have a friend where that's the extent of your plan and it's awesome.

5. Asher's been growing his hair out since summer. I've been trimming it a bit around the edges, but finally got to the point where I wasn't sure what else to do. :) So. I took him to see the fabulous Heather at Bask Salon (she's been doing my hair for years). The left is before and the right is after:

It's not a drastic change, but he looks great! (And there was actually a lot of hair that was removed...he has thicker hair than I realized.) Don't let his scowl throw you in the after picture. He's actually really happy about his hair cut...as evidenced by how often he's been looking in the mirror and preening, lol. 

Happy Friday to you!
