Who told her she could grow up?

D5 has been growing her hair out for over a year.  Its long, stringy and unmanageable.  She loved it long but she also wanted to donate it.  Last night after much thought (on her part not mine) she decided it was time. 

Here is a before picture.

Here is an after shot.

Doesn't she look so grown up?  And she made a big grown up decision also.  I am so proud of her (and a little sad, my baby is growing up.)

In Honor of my Grandma

My dear grandma passed away this last weekend on Aug 7.  How grateful I am to be her grandaughter.  I learned so much from her.  Other than my own mother, she has influenced my life more than any other person.

Her passing was a blessing.  She wanted to be reunited with so many who had gone before.  We are not sad, we are happy for her.  But she will be missed.  More than any words can say.
