First Haircut and Other Goings-on

Sam took a 2 hour nap today.  When he woke up, his hair was INSANE.  It was frizzy, knotted, standing up on end.  It was clearly long past time for a haircut.  We took him up to a little place right across the street from our neighborhood.  I totally thought he would freak out the whole time, but he did SOOOOO good!  And the lady was super good with him.  All his silky baby hair is gone...he has big boy hair now.  So sad.  But he looks super cute.  I'm going to get him some gel so we can spike his hair up. 

Two other things I would like to briefly bring your attention to:

1. Head over to our other page (Half a Heart Full of Life) and read the most recent post.  I have a prayer request for a beautiful heart baby on the other side of the world.

2. The Strong Legs Run is coming up in November.  This is a fundraiser for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Sibley Heart Center (the group who saved Sam's life, and the group who will some day perform more surgery on him).  This is a 10K, 5K, 1 mile fun run, and kids 100 yard dash with a lot of other fun events scattered in between.  It takes place at the Atlanta Brave's baseball stadium.  This year we are going to make a separate team just for Sam (looking for team name ideas if you have any).  I will post the information as soon as I can.  We may be making team t-shirts to sell as part of the fundraising.  If you want to run/ walk with us, or just want to help us raise money for this amazing cause, keep your eyes open for updates soon!

Count us in on a donation...not sure if we can make it just yet. What's the date exactly?
Hugs to all, even Relo. :)
