I decided to mess with Matt a little and let him have a sloppy mohawk for about five seconds.
He thought that was pretty cool and rushed to show his sisters. It got me thinking about Josh's constant threats to shave his head. Yes, I cut his hair too, only I let him choose the guard I clip his entire head with. But, he's always telling me that he's going to start "Bic"-ing his head again. He did this for a while in 2001-02.
(This picture could easily be Josh and Millie, but it's Emma)
Anyway, it all started when Josh and his brother were out on the porch. Josh was about to use the clippers to trim his hair and as he ran them over the middle of his head, the guard fell off and he "accidentally" shaved his head. He used his razor to complete the job. It was really hard to get used to. Really hard. Eventually, (and don't tell Josh) I did get used to it. I even liked rubbing his spiky head after a couple days of no shaving. And it did help him in his career. He was a detention officer at the county jail. Suddenly the inmates took him very seriously. He was still the same awesome, lovable guy, but a bit more intimidating.
It's just a matter of time. Any day now Josh will tell me that the guard "accidentally" fell off the clippers and he's got to shave it all off again. Any day now.
I didn't get any photos of the girls, but Emma's hair is getting so long it's almost down her entire back. Abby's is getting longer too. I played around and did some inside-out braids in her hair for church yesterday. I should've gotten the pics because it looked really cute.
Millie is starting to get a little curl in the back of her hair. Abby's did this. If you look closely in this pic, you can see how Abby's hair curled and was the cutest thing ever. I really hope Millie's develops that same curl.

I think all men just want to know what it's like to have a shaved head. James shaved his once too. He looked so different. The funny thing was, we were at his parents house and it was time for family pictures(as always when we're there.) His mom was so upset that he was in the picture like that. :)
First time I met Josh he was Mr. Bic looking like a tough detention officer and suddenly jumping into a song and dance routine:
"My little Buttercup..."
Lots of my friends married people that are pretty good matches, but Josh just goes so well with you.
With or without hair.
Brett will be so upset about Matt's haircut! I just gave him a cut so he could look like Matt. Yes, Brett's long beautiful hair is now in the local dump. Bright side is that we can see his eyes now!
I love how you link the present and the past. What a great way to remember things.
