Our 11 year old boy is also growing out his hair. Yesterday it was so crazy that he wore a hat to church and decided he is ready to cut it off. (About 5 months since it has been cut :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, 1/4 of a year sounds significantly longer than 3 months!
How sweet!!! She is a precious gift! :) Btw, please share which movie you enjoyed! My hubby is out of town almost all month, and I could use a light-hearted break. A movie sounds terrific to me.
