Happy Father's Day Ed!

Locks of Love

Olivia participated in the 6th Annual Locks of Love assembly at her school last week. She donated her hair a couple of years ago and wanted to do it again. We took some photos to help her remember her luscious, long locks the night before the big cut.

Her good friend Kaitlin participated in it with her.

The stylists were having a difficult time preparing Olivia's hair because it was so thick. The instructor ended up suggesting they make 5 or 6 ponytails instead of 3!

The school had all of the other students come in the auditorium to watch as 15 girls got their hair chopped off. The kids yelled "Cut cut cut" in unison. Olivia had 3 stylists cutting her ponytails off so I couldn't see her well enough to get a decent photo of them actually cutting her hair off.

The final result after 90 minutes of cutting and styling what was left after donating 10 inches of beautiful hair.

She looks darling, and it's a perfect cut for summer. Here she is with her certificate to acknowledge her donation. We're so proud of you Liv! Your hair is going to make a gorgeous wig.

Harry on his way to second place.

Pinewood Derby Boy

Harrison participated in his first Pinewood Derby tonight. Ed changed his work schedule so we could all go ... then life intervened as it has a way of doing, and I ended up in the emergency insta-care with Madeleine while Ed and Olivia cheered Harrison on. One splinted and slinged arm later, Maddie and I arrived at the Derby just in time to see Harrison's car in the Finals, racing for second place overall. There were 15 participants and he was sooooo excited to place! He had so much fun. Ed took some video and Olivia tells me she has other photos that she took with her phone so I'll add more as it is sent to me! Congratulations Harrison! Props to Ed who helped with making the car. My boys work well under pressure - they started on the car late last night and Ed finished it up early this morning!
