hair cut

Well, Emily has been  growing her hair long enough to be able to cut it and have the hair sent to Locks of Love where they make wigs for kids who have lost their hair.  Today she decided it was long enough.  So we went to Lollilocks, and they measured it, and cut it.  They cut off 12" of her hair and then styled it.  

It really looks cute on her, it is such a big girl cut......

I am so proud of her, this is the second time she has sent her hair off to Locks of Love......

She has now sent off 22" of her hair........

Well, our vacation is about to come to a close.....We have had a lot of fun on the Oregon coast.  We have spent the past week in North Bend / Coos Bay Oregon.  We have seen lighthouses, walked on beaches, collected sea shells and drift wood, we have explored tidepools and looked at sea lions....We have slept in, relaxed and just hung out!  We have enjoyed spending the week with my mom & step dad and step sister......It has been a fun week.
