Sweetberry Farm '09

I have fond memories of picking strawberries with my mom and neighbor when I was young. I hope Conrad will have the same memories about all of us at Sweetberry Farm.

Today was a great day to get out there. Overcast and recent ran to make the strawberries ready for picking. No one was into picking strawberries except for me. Conrad really enjoyed the baby goats and baby donkeys at the petting zoo. He was also able to pet the two big horses with our assistance. He also LOVED the mud from recent rain. He and Dad ate lunch on a hay bale while I paid for our pickings and purchased some yummy homemade strawberry ice cream.

The farm will have blackberries ready to pick sometime in May. Maybe I can convince both of them to head out there one more time? It will probably depend on the heat.

P.S. These pics also show of his new do. I love how his new haircut shows of his round little head!

First haircut

Conrad finally had his first haircut (sniff... and yes, I had her cut a few curls to save). He had a meltdown a few minutes before it was his turn. This ended up being a good thing as he was AWESOME during his haircut. He was content to sit in the fun yellow car, hold Thomas the trains (one for each hand) and watch Thomas on TV. What more could a kid want?!??!

Now that we have the after, his haircut was LONG overdue. I had initially agreed to get his haircut at 18 months. But when I was able to pull most of his hair into a ponytail, my rational side won out and an appointment was made.

He looks so much more grown up- even if he is still attached to his pacifier. We bought some cookie dough jelly (fancy schmancy, over-priced kid gel minus alcohol which really does smell like cookie dough) so we can attempt a faux hawk at home.
