Solace wanted to cut her hair and donate it to Locks of Love. She is famous for her very long beautiful hair, but she REALLY wanted it cut. In fact she begged and begged for over a month and then the other day she cut her own bangs in a desperate attempt to cut her own hair. She said she was far too hot with her long hair and really wanted to cut it and help the kids with cancer get wigs by donating her hair. Here she is before we left home...
Lovely long hair...
So long...
Prep work
About to cut 
Done...
Holding her 16 inches of hair...yes, 16...

All the hair...
She loves the haircut, though it was shorter than we wanted it. However, she keeps telling me how happy she is to help the kids get wigs. She is glad they will have ones of real hair and not have to wear blue ones like Cathy did (Yes I explained that the blue wig was a choice and a joke, but nonetheless...). She said she loves her short hair because it is nice and cool, and because she got to help others, but she is not going to cut it again for 5 years.
In a stunning turn of events, while we were at the salon, I decided to cut my hair and donate it as well. I have much less hair though...I only donated 10 inches. This first picture is from Vancouver and is just for comparisons sake...
After, holding my hair...(I have to insert here that after they cut off the ponytail, Armour came over and stared at me in stunned silence for about a minute before he said "Mom, you're a boy now?" It was quite confusing for him...)

All my hair sitting there...
I am not a fan of my haircut but will hopefully get used to it soon. Also I must tell you all that we did this yesterday, and the rest of the day was at least as traumatizing as the haircuts...it involved tires, nails, missing spares, and one happy shining spot in the form of a knight in green scrubs! More on that later!

Wow, I am very impressed that Solace wanted to donate her hair to locks of love. What a sweetheart! And you too! (by the way, I think the haircut looks fantastic!)
I'm impressed with you and Solace... Way to go guys!
A knight in green scrubs?! I wonder who that could have been. :) Can't wait to hear the story.
I personally love both your haircuts and applaud you for your bravery in cutting your hair and donating it to Locks of Love! What a great organization! I'm proud of Solace for wanting to do something selfless and wonderful like that. . . and for dragging you into it with her. ;)
Love to you all!!

Very cool. I'll bet the haircuts feel nice and cool for the summer. And just in time for this crazy hot Omaha week! As a side note, as a nurse who works with cancer patients, those real wigs are a million times better than the fake ones, so yes--you did a very good act of service!
