The first birthday

What a wild ride it has been for us this past year. Grace is an amazing girl who we love and adore. She is happy, loving and fun. Lately she has been giving lots of hugs and her brother is teaching her how to run, sort of. It is amazing to see the kidos grow, I can't imagine life with out smiling faces. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!!!!

Done eating cake!

Now that's a face sweeter than most!

Uncle Fester and his son

So this is the after picture. For those of you who don't recognize dad he is the one wearing suspenders!!!! Just so everyone knows why we decided to lose our hair..... This event was for children who have survived, going through and who have died from cancer. Ben, both dad and I did this for you! Vaughn and Mom / Martha, you both were in our thoughts.

What was he thinking.

Dad decided to take off the facial hair.... He say's, "That was a mistake."

Dad getting his head shaved

Just by looking at that face you should be able to tell that he lost his excitement about getting bald! What you can't see is me laughing so hard that it was hard to breath. I'm guessing dad's hair will grow back grey, he say's he hopes it just grows back.

What was I thinking

Here I am gettin my head shaved. If it looks like I am smirking it is because I knew dad was next and I couldn't picture what he was going to look like.

BALDO

Well, it is done! Dad has more hair in his ears and nose than on his head. This first picture is a before shot of both dad and I at the event.

Look close and you will notice that dad's beard is gone and he only has a goatee. And look at the "dirt" on my face:) The deal is that we are getting our heads shaved for St. Baldricks and because of a celebrity attending the event this year my Sheriff has said that those participating should grow a goatee in honor of the celebrity. In just a few short weeks both dad and Iwill be bald, bald, bald. I am gonna try to get dad to shave the goatee off after his head is shaved. I'm curious if a bald head and no beard will be worse than when he had the perm?!?!?!?!??!

Garret, Grace and Cor on March 1 2008! If you notice that Grace has a red face it is because we found out the hard way that she is allergic to amoxicillin. These three kiddos are awesome and know how to keep things fun. Garret is hyper and non stop. Cor is a big soft hearted bruiser. Grace is small and opinionated. It will be fun to see how they grow up together and which one causes the most problems for their parents. Any guesses?
