The LONG and SHORT of Things

Well, Today was THE Day!
MaKieley has been growing her hair out for

over a year and a half so that she could donate

it to Locks of Love!

This is a picture before of her beautiful,

yet difficultly thick, long blonde hair!Here is her pony tail waiting to be cut off!

Here is Ms. Tandy cutting the ponytail off!
Here is MaK showing off her cut off ponytail!
Here is MaKieley's short SHORT hair!
She was so thrilled!

SO, one more time! Here is MaKieley before!
And here she is after! With the evidence!

Ms. Tandy said they usually use about three ponytails to make a wig but MaKieley's was probably as thick as 2 or 2 1/2 of the ponytails they usually recieve!

A BIG HUGE Thank you to Ms. Tandy for such a great haircut!

:) You are AWESOME!!!! :)

A BIG Thank you also to Grammie and Dangran for coming and supporting us all and helping entertaining Marley Caroline!

For those of you who do not know the story behind the growing and cutting of the hair it is as follows.

MaKieley is in class with a little girl who does not have very much hair. They have been in class together since Kindergarten. One morning MaKieley was at home for a holiday or something and I had on the Today show! They were doing a segment on people with long hair and they were cutting the hair off and giving it to Locks of Love so that wigs could be made out of it! Well they also talked about Ann Curry giving her hair! (We really like Ann Curry in our house!) My sweet daughter told me if Ann and those other people could do it then we could! Then she promptly asked me if I knew a wig maker. I told her I did not and that all we had to do was to mail the hair in (when it was long enough) to Locks of Love and they took care of all that. She then told me I was to make sure that the people at Locks of Love were to understand that her "hair wig" was to go to the special little girl from her class! You see some of the boys were picking on this little girl and MaKieley did not like that at all. She knew God had blessed her with a head FULL of thick Thick THICK hair and she could share that with the other little girl so that she would not be sad and the boys would not pick on her! So we began growing! Then she decided that daddy and mommy should grow their hair out as well! SO ... Mommy and Daddy did! Now Mommy and MaK have reached the point of cutting but Daddy has a little bit longer to go! (Now you all understand why our hair was so long in our happy new year picture!)

I am sure you all agree with us that we have a very sweet giving little girl! She shows us so often why God calls us to be like the little children!
