Fifth Locks of Love

     Lindsay continues to be a generous person in giving to others. Over the weekend, she made her 5th hair donation to Locks of Love. For those of you not familiar with this organization, it helps children who have medical conditions in which they lose their hair,typically in providing wigs to these children. Here is a link to their website--- http://www.locksoflove.org/   In order to make a donation, you have to provide 10 inches of hair, so this is a major sacrifice to most girls/women(and I guess there must be some men that do this at well) who donate this amount of hair.

     Like I said earlier, this is Lindsay's 5th donation. Her first was in kindergarten. From that point, she has donated about every 2 grades, so on average about 2-3 years between donations. She has donated in K, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and now 8th grades. Her last donation was a few weeks after JT was born, so nearly 3 years since her last donation.

 Here is Lindsay's before photo. She was more than ready to her her hair cut! 

 She likes it long, but with the warm weather we have been having, it's been a bit too much.

The BIG CUT!
 We went to Great Clips, who provides free haircuts to those making Locks of Love donations.

 Lindsay and her donation! So proud of her! Beautiful young lady both inside and out.

 Though it has taken a bit of getting used to being "short", Lindsay is loving her new 'do.
