Snip Snip Here, Snip Snip There

Caroline had her first professional "snip, snip" at the hair salon recently, and she definitely did not want to say a couple of "tra la las" or laugh the day away as in the merry old land of Oz. She seemed rather mortified by the whole experience, even though it was our neighbor Heather who cut her hair, and we have the evidence here on film.
After mommy held her through the whole trauma, she was ready to get out of that chair and go to daddy for a little comfort immediately afterward. And then she had to go outside to wind down, although we absolutely promise you that the cigarettes on the ground at her feet did not come from her! Maybe it will be fun to show her these pictures one day if she turns out to be a hair diva!Speaking of getting cut, one person who has never been cut--by a sports team, that is--is our friend Tarik Glenn, recently retired from the Indianapolis Colts as a Super Bowl XLI champion and three-time All-Pro. We wanted to devote a little space to thank Tarik for taking a couple of days away from his family to visit us here and to speak to our student body at John Brown. Tarik has founded an inner-city outreach to children in Indianapolis, which we are glad to advertise for him; you can learn all about it at his charity's web site, http://www.dreamaliveinc.org/.
