Buy A Baldy

And the First Shall be Last

Looks like Dennis finished the job (in more ways than one) and thus ends the hair of all the original Baldies.

Here's what Joan has to say about it:

After Dennis saw Riley's pictures, and being asked by people when they were going to get to see him bald, he came home last night begging to be shaved! Carli took most of the photos--you'll notice that his "before" pictures are the same as everybody else's "grandpa" photos, but since he's the grandpa that's the way it should be, right? I did most of the buzzing, Craig did some, and then Dennis did most of the shaving. I finished up the shaving in the back and since everyone else has already been through it, I was able to be bold, too, and do it with a smile on my face. It's that first close cut with the clippers
that's the hardest since it goes against everything you've ever done before!

After that it was easy and even kind of fun. Knowing we were following so many good examples and that it was for a good cause helps, too. I am still wondering if an of you are going to continue wearing this close-cut hairdo just because it's easy and breezy!

Craig came in and posed a few times with his dad for father/son pictures. Craig's is growing out so much already, though, that he looks positively hairy next to his dad. It's only been a week since Craig went boldly bald, so that should be comforting to those of you who are worried about it growing back!

I think we could keep the blog up and running for those who have only recently heard about it and so that Cami can comment periodically on her progress and her experiences. Who knows when any of us who have been involved in this may go through a similar experience ourselves and need the voice of gracious experience to help smooth the way? I am so grateful to all the people who have so donated money, shown concern by getting on to this site and sharing their concern, and those who have shaved their heads in support of Baldy, the First, as Cami is now calling herself! Wow! Thanks a million times.

Dad I love the picture of you and Craig with worried/crazy looks on your faces while he's shaving you. Too funny! I can't wait to see you in real life this week.

Oh also I meant to say that I think it's funny that it seemed to be pretty natural to shave right down the middle for the first cut for most everyone. But I thought that it was really funny that you had to start on the side! ;)

No, Crystal. The first picture was the grandpa picture. I just didn't have to cut anything for it.
