Howdy's and Hugs from Arizona ... (yeah, that did sound kind of lame.) Thought I'd just add a few new pictures. I know they say child "2" never gets as much camera time, but I'm pretty sure this one won't have any trouble - we seem to always have a camera in tow.

We've had some great weather with cooler temps, but are back on the rise this week - looking at 97+ for the weekend. Hard to believe, but nice to have it warm enough to spend some time in and around the pool. This weekend Jon's office is doing HS Physicals - an annual event they do every year free for HS kids. It's a local program that's going national now. Anyway ... he'll he busy Saturday, so Ian and may find our way to the edge of the pool. Of course, our schedule is usually fairly flexible, so I don't know why we have to wait until Saturday. Ha! Here are the latest & greatest ... we took a few pictures of Ian during dinner the other night - He does like to ham it up for the camera - a complete cheese ball.

yesterday evening, we met Jon after work at the Barber Shop for Ian's latest haircut. The last two times I've taken him to one of those "kids cut" places where they entertain them with fun chairs and movies, etc ... and "poof", suddenly they have a new 'doo'. But, this time we decided to take him to Jon's barber. They're a nice family from Manhattan - the barber shop also combo's as a place to buy/sell gold and jewelry, get a watch fixed etc. Ahhhh.... our own little piece of NYC right in our backyard...without the tolls. Now, if only you could get a "slice of pie" while you wait. ha..ha.... Jon loves it because they're the true old school barber - down to the straight razor shave, massage, hot towels, etc... not to mention the haircut's only 6 bucks.

Ian wasn't a big fan of the clippers at first - and I couldn't help getting pics of his distress (rotten Mom) but you can see he eventually came around. Surely his favorite part was the tootsie pop at the end. (My least favorite for obvious reasons.)
