The Big Hair Day

Here she is, rockin' the new hair do!!

Isabelle and I went today and got our hair cut.  We have both been growing it out for over a year.  We decided a while back that we were going to grow out our hair and donate in honor of my SIL and her Aunt Kim.  Isabelle needed to have a bun in her hair for her ballet recital on May 20.  We went the Monday after that and chopped it off.  

After spending some time doing some research on the internet, I decided that Pantene Beautiful Lengths was the organizations that we would donate to.

Isabelle sat down in the chair first.  She had not been growing out her hair as long so we decided to cut it off at a higher point and layer it.

Then she got it styled!

We ended up getting very similar styles, but there is no doubt, she pulls off short hair a little better than I do.

Here is Isabelle showing off the hair that we are sending off.  Altogether, we are donating 20 in. of hair for wigs.

Parker was with us the whole time for moral support.

Isabelle and I had a great time doing this together.  I am so proud of her for being willing to share something that she has so much of, with someone who really needs it.  I would encourage everyone who can, to consider hair donation.  It only takes a year or so to grow, but can mean so much to the receiver. 

Similarly, please keep Kim Smith in your prayers.  She is an amazing woman.  She shows great strength and while she fights this disease.   We love her very much!!!
