Locks of Love

I haven't had short hair in AGES and I finally look like a mom said Ryan!

For a couple of months now, I've been wanting to cut my hair and give it to Locks of Love for a little girl who has cancer. My hair has been way too long as the babies grab it and I get things caught in it as I'm racing around.

Both Ryan and Nani said I shouldn't do it as they are used to seeing me with long hair. Even Chris Vetrano said I shouldn't do it because I'll look old if I cut it.

Anyway, I feel guilty for not volunteering lately, but my life with the two boys, a husband and Nani have kept me so busy that the only way we help others is via a small check every once and a while. I really love the hands-on volunteer work that I have done and I miss it tremendously. So I hope in some small way, this helps and counts as volunteering...

Anyway, I have kept on thinking about a little girl who wants hair but can't grow it due to her chemo or radiation treatments. And when Chris came over for lunch today, I made him come with me to document the change! His mouth stayed open in a surprised fashion the entire time we were at the hair place as he couldn't believe I was doing it.

Hope I don't look too old, but I realize now that I'm going to have to learn how to "do" my hair as I don't really style it. I'm also going to have to buy products for my hair as I never use any. This will be a change, but I'm glad that some girl out there will be happy because she has a wig of my thick hair.

And check out how blue Jackson's eyes are becoming.

He is becoming more and more alert as the days pass. I hope you can see that in this picture his eyes are a deep blue...I'm sure they'll continue to change but it's really pretty right now.
