Another haircut for Willie

Hello everyone. Things have been a bit busy for ol' dad lately (well, not entirely true since I did almost no work for the better part of last week). But the blog posts lately have been a bit scarce (although the last one was a pretty big deal). I've got a solid collection of pictures from the last couple weeks to show everyone so there should be some good posts coming soon.

Yesterday we had a professional photo session with Becky, who did the photography for Aunt Sara & Uncle Jeff's wedding and who we have recommended to many of our friends. Got lots of pictures at the Wisconsin state capitol building for our Christmas cards. Despite my excellent photography skills there are very few pictures that include Erin, myself, and Will which look good because we're not often around other people to take our picture. So we get a lot of shots like this, which look pretty good but commonly cut someone out of the picture because I am holding the camera out at arm's length and guessing where it is pointing. I am especially excited to see how the photo session turned out.

So anyway we all got spiffed up for the session and we thought Will should have another haircut because he looked like this:

which is pretty awesome-looking if you ask me but you can't argue with how good he looks with a new haircut. As it turns out, Aunt Sara is a fantastic hair stylist and she agreed to cut Will's hair the night before the shoot, despite his protests.

We put in a team effort to distract Will so he wouldn't be so upset: mom talking to him, Grandma holding out various things for him to put his hands in and dad and Uncle Jeff making faces at him from across the room. And the haircut turned out really nice. You'll have to wait to see the results of the photo session but trust me, he looked very cute.
