Changes Afoot

A few months ago I decided that it was past time for a change. Since I couldn't waive my magic wand and melt those five pounds from my hips I decided it should be my hair. So on a whim I had almost 11 inches cut from my head. I could have died my hair red but as courageous as I am when it comes to scissors and my hair I am equally as terrified of hair color. So the color remained ever unchanged but the long locks went the way of the trash bin. And I love my new hair! So does Jane; who decided that if I got to cut off my hair then she should be able to do it to.


It took a couple of months for her to convince her mother that I was being controlling and I really had no right to determine the length of her hair. After all, as she reminded me, she wasn't doing anything wrong by cutting it. And she was right. She looks fabulous! A little too grown up, but fabulous none the less!

Haha!! So ironic!! Rachel and I have just been through the exact experience. I finally "gave in" and we made the cut yesterday and, like Jane, she too looks darling as I smile at her while glimpses of her adulthood flash before my eyes! sigh. Anyway, she looks beautiful!! :)

Love the hair cuts! Of course, since you helped inspire me to get my hair cut! Tell Jane she looks like a little lady, but she better still act like a little girl. ;) No growing up just yet!

Oh, I'm going to be the exact same way when Annie wants to cut her hair. I love her little curls. She can cut it when she is 18. :)

I have a favor to ask. Scott has a paper cutout of Flat Stanley and after spending a week with him needs to send him to someone for a week and have them keep a journal of what he did that week. Scott was hoping that he could send him to Mitchell. Would that be okay? We would just mail him to you and then you would mail him back after a week. Let me know.
