Harrison's Hair
I never thought I would have something in common with Celine Dione or Kate Hudson. But our boys share one common thing-needing a dang haircut! I went to Harrison's Mothers Day Out on Wednesday to pick up his school picture. I was so embarassed when I saw them. How had I not noticed how long and shaggy his hair had gotten? I know he has longer hair than most boys, but in my mind he looks 'Zac Enfron-y'! In reality it was nothing like that. I called our personal hairdresser, G-Jo,and immediately scheduled an appointment! Four suckers later he looks like a new man! So handsome under all that hair.
Happy mom, happy wife, happy life. I'm a mom who sees that the daily challenges and blessings of parenting far supersedes what I expected. I'm a wife who sees 'for better or for worse' in a whole new light. I'm a neonatal ICU nurse who sees daily that the miracle of life is a gift from God.
My husband, my love. The ying to my yang. Famous quote "Hey Steve, can you help me clean up around the house?" "But, Gretch, you're so good at it. We're a team, we both shouldn't be good at the same thing, right?" He's the proud pappa of his four boys. He enjoys adding to the rough and tumbliness of the household!
Harrison
My little man Harrison. He's a rowdy nine year old who loves everything "boy." Every stage since his birth has been my favorite. But now, really, I think the 8 year old stage is the best. Really.
Gavin
My middle son Gavin, Gi-Gi, or Geedge is my fiercely independent six year old. His mantra is 'I can do it by myself.' Sometimes this is at the expense of his safety and much to his dismay Mom and Dad have to intervene. But, at the end of the day he still needs his Momma to snuggle and scratch his back. I happily oblige.
Cannon
My youngest and rowdiest! son, Cannon. At the age of three he has grown into true a true Bergman Bruiser adding to the rough and tumbliness of our home.
Quintin
Our latest and greatest Bruiser. Quin joining our family officially enters us into the 'buttload of kids' category and ensures that we will have a rambunctious house for many years to come.
I love his hair long...but he looks super cute with it short too. Such a little man! What is G-Jo using in that picture? A flat iron?
ReplyDeleteI thought you were gonna buzz him? It's cute long but the short hair is so much better for Texas weather. You know I'm an advocate for short hair!
