December, Remembered - Hair today, gone tonight

Celebrating the birth of our Savior is just one reason in our family to rejoice during the month of December. Another is celebrating the birth of our Jed!

I've covered his birthday parties and celebrations in a previous post here,

but I've also included a brief video clip from our joint family party for Jed and Henry:

(good times)

That evening, after our guests had gone home and the wrapping paper had

been cleaned up, and just before bedtime, Jack made the

impromptu decision to have Pete give him a haircut of

the extreme kind. Having just recently joined

a community La Crosse team, Jack had felt his long hair was

too hot and was uncomfortable in his helmet at its current length.

We were a bit surprised because he had been resisting a haircut

for so long, so Pete wasted no time in firing up his clippers and

pulling back the shower curtain to prepare the venue for Jack's request.

Jack's hair "before"

(about 15 minutes "before" the big clip

to be more precise)

okay, let's begin.....

pausing to take notice of Jack's so called "Cheeto Stripe"

- a patch of orange hair above his right ear that he has

had since he was little - so called because it looks like

someone ate a bunch of Cheetos, then wiped their

sticky orange fingers right in Jack's hair. It is mostly

noticeable when his hair is a bit shorter.

voila! the artist with his masterpiece
