Here's a couple more stories from our trip to Colorado!
Matt's hair was getting pretty shaggy and his sister Angela reminded him every day that he needed a haircut. I usually cut his hair, so I borrowed their clipper set and we went out on the back porch. The lighting wasn't very good and it was very cold. When I cut his hair at home, I always start with attachment #5, then use a #3 on the middle and #1 on the sides and back. The Navy requires that his haircut be tapered as such. Anyway, without really thinking much about it, I put on the #5 attachment and started to cut his hair. It turned out that #5 on this clipper set was the shortest, so Matt had a really really short streak of hair directly down the middle of the top of his head! I managed to cover it up ok and tried my best to blend the rest of his hair in without totally shaving his head, but you could still see it if you looked hard enough. Everyone got a pretty good laugh out of it and I learned a valuable lesson - always start cutting hair at the back!
The other story that I thought of involves Matt's cousin's kid, who just turned a year old on Jan 1. He is very cute and mild tempered, so we didn't mind having him around a lot. He looks a lot like the baby in the Quiznos commercial. He had apparantly just learned how to make a new frowny face where he would squish up his lips and turn his eyebrows down. Everyone got a good laugh out of this whenever he did it because it was always followed by a big smile and laugh from him. During Matt's mom's funeral, I turned around at one point and saw baby Jacob pointing at me and making the face. It got me laughing during the funeral!
