There she goes again
We are big supporters of Locks of Love in our house. My hair used to grow so fast that I got it cut every year to donate! The last time I did was this past fall, but it’s not growing very fast this year. Wonder why?
Anyway, Annie and Catie have both donated their hair in the past. Annie gave 14 inches last time, and Catie gave 16 – it was the first-ever haircut for both of them. But they both said immediately that they would do it again, and for Annie the time had come.
Grama snips the first ponytail
And here is the end result!
12 inches!
Annie has very thick, healthy hair that will make a beautiful wig. She’s also a very tiny person, so while the haircut does make her look older which Mommies never like, I think it also shows off her precious little face. I didn’t realize it until after the cut, but she was a little bogged down by all that hair.
So tomorrow I will mail the donation in, and send Annie’s picture to the local paper which prints stories like this. Is it wrong of me to want to brag? I don’t want her to do the right thing for the wrong reasons, but I’m so proud of her selfless heart. This kid is a real prize. Lucky me.

As I said in my last comment, that Annie of yours is such a beautiful young lady who is generous and selfless, by using her money to buy her sister an American Girl. This just solidifies that fact! What a wonderful cause!

your girls are all so beautiful…inside and out! i’m pretty sure that mom and dad have a part in that. =)
as a person who lost her hair to chemotherapy, i am so proud of you and your girls for thinking of others and willing to donate your gorgeous hair.
though it sounds vain, losing your hair is so darn awful. even when you know it will come back…(which mine has-so much prettier than it was before with beautiful curls just like my daughter bethany…she prayed that it would come back curly. i love that she knows God heard and answered her prayers).
thank you to you and your girls for taking part in the cause!

Such a sweetheart she is. And equally beautiful with or without the long locks.
