Redheaded Sisterhood

After Mary did THIS a couple of months ago, Gracie started down a somewhat startling line of questioning - do red-haired girls lose their hair? does anyone donate red hair? is my hair long enough? To which I answered: look, Elvis! Oh, wait, you're 7 - look, Mickey! Monkey bars! Hopscotch! Markers! Books! Let's forget about all of this and go get ICE CREAM!! Ok, so I said that not a lot of people HAVE red hair to give, so probably not a lot. Which brings us to the following set of photos:








I apparently have much more attachment to hair than my daughters, because I seem to be the only one who sheds a tear. Partially because I'm still traumatized from always having boy short hair growing up; I do love long pretty hair. My girls have short hair and big hearts.

And I'm especially glad for their big hearts come hair-brushin' time!

My mom always had me keep my hair cut sooo short when I was young. I think that's why I'm nearly 35 with terribly long hair. Your girls are beautiful and it's their choice. I love that. You rock.
