First Haircut

**Don’t forget to scroll down to hear about our camping trip**

So, it has been how many weeks that Matt and I have tried to take Gracie to get her haircut?  Oh I would say about 5, at the least.  Last night, I finally gave in and let the want of the pictures at the professional place go.  Yes, you know what I did…I cut her hair.  I was so nervous, but all I really wanted to do was cut her “tail” off.  Ever since she finally got hair, she had this little rattail going.  It was so pretty and curly, but their comes a time when you just have to let go.  I did, but it didn’t happen without tears.  The tears weren’t from the hair being gone, they were from another first happening.  They are becoming fewer and fewer.  Now I realize that she is almost 3, but still it made me sad.  However, it is definitely a much needed improvement and very cute!  PS don’t mind the naked baby…it was bath time! (Don’t worry, I fixed the longer piece towards the middle.  Cutting curly hair is not an easy task, next time I will be leaving it up to the professionals!)  

A very dear family friend gave me this adorable little first curl holder!  When I got, I was praying I would have a little girl with curls.  I am so glad I got my wish!

It looks like I cut off so much! But it really wasn’t that much, really.

  Settled in for safe keeping!
