Haircuts

Lincoln's hair was getting a bit too scraggly, so I decided it was time for him to get a haircut.  With two men in the house now, it seemed crazy to be paying for haircuts all the time, so I decided to get a pair of clippers and learn how to do it myself!  AJ was kind to put his full faith in me and was very encouraging.  I also decided while I was at it - to cut all the girls too.  So here are some before and afters of everyone.

Idgie didn't really need much.  I trimmed the length in the back a little and clean up the sides some.  She still has really fine baby hair so there wasn't much to do.  I don't even think you can tell in the photo!

Liliana's is the hair that was the hardest.  Hers is so thick and has curl in it.  I went shorter than I meant too.

I was pleased with Emmaline's hair.  I didn't realize just how long her hair had gotten until I looked at it in the picture!

And finally my brave brave AJ.  I actually hurt him a few times and he accidentally lost his sideburns in the process - but overall it worked out okay.

They all look great. Congratulations on another talent. Not to mention more money available for you to use couponing.

Wow. I am very impressed. You are so brave--and AJ so nice to be willing! I still remember trying to cut a boyfriend's hair in college--it took me hours and I was about in tears. Emmaline's hair looks so full after her hair cut. Wow.

Nice work! I remember the first time I cut Ben's hair. It was stressful! But he had more hair back then, or else I'm getting better, at any rate, some always grows back!
