Boydenhaus Septembrefest

Tim turned 30 on September 3rd. To celebrate this three decade achievement we doned our best german kleidung, rounded up some maidens, dusted out our steins and celebrated with meat and beer. And of course a pinata for the kids.. Aiden is a german pirate

Liam's first haircut

Liam was as bald as a cue ball for the first year of his life. Because of this he missed the first haircut that most babies have around that 1 year milestone. He missed it at year 2 as well. Our boy had finally grown the most beautiful hair. Most unlike his mother and fathers straight dark hair- Liam sprouted blonde hair w/ spiral ringlets in the back. He was mistaken for a girl more often than not. When unknowing strangers commented on my girls pretty long blonde curly hair I stopped correcting them, and Liam would yell, 'GIRL- JOKE!'. I knew that as soon as he got a haircut the ringlets could disappear forever and I wasn't willing to take that risk. Liams' hair defined him. We were sure his 'rockstar' personality and love of guitars was directly linked to his cool hairdo. But then came the day when my 2 y/o boy cried and cried when I brushed out his hair w/ my 'no more tangles' spray and we thought, it might be time for a 'trim.' So here's the before and after of our boys first haircut.

My first blaaahhg

It's the year 2007, I often have to stop and remind myself of that. I scan the years when I write out a check, always somehow defaulting to the year 2002. I like to think it's b/c that was an important year- afterall it was the year my name changed from Boyd to Agerton.. somehow time stopped mattering after that. I have forgotten how old I am, how long I've been married, and I often tell people Liam was born in 2002 as well. I believe that would mean I have a kindergartner and not a 2 y/o... anyway time is passing, and I realized i better start documenting some of it. So I can't guarantee this will always be funny and clever (noel) but I will strive for mildly humorous and probably self-depracating as that is the life stage we've entered. Thanks for wanting to be a part of this tell-all, enjoy your time on the Agerton Express. All aboard!
