A day that will go down in history...

Some of you may know that Ben has been very picky about Asher's hair. For a while, he would NOT let me get it cut. Finally, he gave in and said it could be trimmed, but only a little bit. A few days ago, a miracle happened: Ben decided it was time for Asher to get a "summer" hair cut. I guess Asher's soaking wet, matted, sweaty hair after taking off the bike helmet finally got to him.

So, without further ado, I give you the summer hair cut:

I think it makes him look so much younger, and definitely more like Evan. I also think it's super cute. :)

The other night, Asher and I went for a walk together, just us. It was fun to spend some time alone with the little guy. We took a few pictures, too, so if you want a "before" picture, here it is:

As a side note: I often have people ask me how I get Asher to smile so well for the camera, since this age is notoriously hard to photograph. The answer is that I take 7,364 pictures like these:

...to get just one that looks like this:

I don't believe it for a second. You remember the day I got my camera and we took it over to that park to test it out...And asher was the only one who would smile...Kate wouldn't give me the time of day. You just trained Asher in the way of picture taking. I love the hair cut. It totally makes him look like Evan. So cute!!!

Awesome Li! Asher's such a cutie.
And I totally know what you mean about taking thousands of photos just to get that one smile. That's soooo me and my boys! When I get them both to smile at the same time I feel like I should win an award! :)
