Baldies Galore

Riley took the plunge today. The Brinkerhoffs were in town this weekend to see Jack and they asked him when he was going bald. So he told his sister Chelsey that she could shave him right then if she wanted. So of course everyone jumped all over that and we had an impromptu shaving session! And let me tell you--it grew into more than just Riley. His brother Garrett decided he wanted to get it in on things too. So Riley shaved Garrett and by the time he was done Riley's nephew Brayden decided that he was ready to do it too!

When Brayden was done we talked ourselves into putting Isaac in the shaving chair next. Riley did the deed and Isaac was sort of freaked out by it at first. I put him and finally Riley's Dad joined the group at the very end. It was such a nice gesture from everyone (well Isaac didn't really have much say I guess:) and turned something that I was kind of scared to do into quite the party!




While the boys were being shaved Sherrie shared a few things with us about her Mom and aunt who both had breast cancer. She told us that she and Chelsey participated in the Relay for Life this past year. I just think it's interesting that once your life has been touched by cancer--wether it's you or someone you love--your take on efforts to help fight it suddenly changes.

So thanks to the Brinkerhoff men for being so spontaneously brave and making such a party out of it.
