cut your hair and paste it to your back?

...or maybe to Ben's head?

This is what Dave used to say to Brie as a joke. Last night we finally did cut her hair. But we thought maybe pasting it to her back would be kinda weird. And blond doesn't seem to be Ben's color. So, instead, we thought maybe the Locks of Love charity could use it.

Here are a couple before and after pics of Brie. She didn't want her pic taken last night for some reason, hence the turning away view. Was an emotional experience for her to see herself with short hair all of a sudden. I totally get that, but was surprised that even as early as 6-going-on-7, that it is a hard thing.





In other news...
We're still "this close" to getting two of the three floors done on the new house. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. Dave says he's not sure if it's really because we're at the end of the tunnel or if it's the light from an oncoming train. Praying it's the real LIGHT at the end of this tunnel.

Allie kindly pointed out, I don't write much about Dave in the posts...must change that. So, here's a bit of an update...he just came back from a trip to Chicago for work which was a good break for him from THE HOUSE. Really THE HOUSE has become a second job, not to mention the stuff at home he helps with. He got me outside last night to toss around the baseball which was a welcome diversion. How hard it is to go from work to play mode! The kids cheered us on and awarded us points in flower petals.

The kids had another photo shoot today, since the camera was left out. Here are the fruits of their efforts:
