My neck is freezing!

Today, I decided to get my hair cut short. I was very nervous and I almost backed out, but I wanted a drastic change. So I told the stylist to cut about 15 inches off. 15 inches! This is the shortest my hair has been since third grade.To ease the pain, I donated the hair to Locks of Love. It is very strange having short hair and I am starting to get used to it but, wow, is my neck cold! I understand now why scarves exist. It is to keep necks warm. Amazing concept I know, but you see, my neck has never been cold. Well, until now. Apparently my hair kept my neck warm for all of these years.

My sister

My sister and her family moved her to Tennessee recently and it so much fun to have her here. The kids are loving having their cousins so close.

Just wanted to share a photo of Bri, to show how well she is doing.

Ponytails and headbands

What do ponytails and headbands have to do with this beautiful little girl pictured here? Well, our darling Ella got her little hands on a pair of scissors and decided to give herself a haircut. She cut out about a cup full of hair with a large section very close to the scalp. I can't bring myself to cut her hair really short so she will just have to wear head bands and ponytails for a long time.

So where did she get the idea to cut her hair? Let's just say that Ty will be getting his hair shaved bald (again!) tonight. He has learned a very important lesson of being a good example for his little sister. Ty is not very happy about having to go bald again. When I let him know he will get his shaved, he exclaimed "Aw Phooey!" Well said my little one, well said!
