Holding. offence. number 55. third down.

In honor of the beginning of football season, Joey asked for a new haircut. He requested a style that resembles one of his favorite football players. But when he said "football player" I thought he meant "futbol player", so I instantly imagined David Beckham and went to work. Little did I know that he meant Eli Manning!! Joey had a bit of a shock when all was said and done. I'm not sure if he likes it because he won't tell me...

Kitchen Island

In other news, we added a new piece of furniture to our home. It's a (you guessed it!) kitchen island!!!! We love it. Joey picked it out from the sample sale at his work. It has a small imperfection, but it's perfect to us!! It's a solid piece and the ideal height for chopping. Joey chose this partiuclar one because it had some really pretty light-colored spots, and areas that look like knots in wood. Here's what it looked like when we got it home.

Then we decided that it needed to be oiled to protect the wood, and then the color changed completely!! It's still beautiful, but just a little darker! Now it's smooth and soft and ready for more chopping!!
