Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Hello friends and family! Well, today was the day- Grant's hair was coming out in handfuls yesterday, so Emily decided to go to Paul Wade's and buzzzz the remaining hair off of the little guy! It was a family affair, so Eden got to stay home from school to accompany her brothers to the barbershop.

Now, for those who have not grown up on Harkers Island, a trip to Paul Wade's (pronounced... paulwade- the kids think that is his first name... as in "Hey paulwade" when they see him at the grocery store) is always a wonderful occasion. Paul is as gentle as they come- he has very strong hands, and he can hold even the squirmiest little boy's head with one hand and cut his hair with the other. We love him!

So, Grant walked into my kitchen after the haircut with a smile on his face, and a superman hat on his head... quickly pulled off the hat, and there was the finest shiny head I've ever seen. It smelled just like a new haircut, and feels mighty good.

Many thanks to Paul for "keeping it cool" and getting past the moment for Em.

Right now- as I type, I have 10 grandchildren playing in my yard. They are swinging, riding, chalking, running, laughing, and having a great morning. My daughters are all here, catching up on the happenings of their favorite tv shows. The u-haul group ( Joel and Mike, Kyle and his dad- Rod) are in Kansas City, Missouri, heading east! They should be here tomorrow evening sometime.

Until later then- over and out!
