The Long and Short of It

These have been hairy days in the Dyksterhouse.

First, as many of you know, Gary has always wanted to grow a beard, but never has knowing that Kathryn isn't a huge fan of beards. He recently had a place on his face stitched up. The result: Gary gets to grow a beard. :-) It will probably be another week or so before he is able to shave it, and there has been some debate as to whether he will shave then or wait awhile. Much to Kathryn's dismay, the beard has actually been getting alot of compliments.

Also, as most of you know, Kathryn has been growing her hair out for Locks of Love. She went to have it cut about 4 months ago, and they sent her away saying she still needed a few more inches. She was finally able to have it cut this morning. Here are the results. Click here if you are interested in donating your hair to Locks of Love.

Finally, and not on the subject of hair, we are getting a puppy!! We are going to pick him up next weekend. I promise to post some pictures as soon as he comes home. From the pictures that the breeder has already sent us, we think that he is adorable! But we'll let you judge for yourself.
