Saturday in a Nutshell

 Thursday was my original appointment for Julia with the "loc specialist". It was a bit of a disappointment since I took her out of school early and the lady did not show because she had left her phone at church and didn't remember the appointment. Since I liked her so much, I wanted to reschedule for the next week - but looking at my next week, I decided I had to cram it in late Friday afternoon. That made five days in a row for me to have major appointments away from home. Thankfully, she deep conditioned Julia's hair and got out about 80% of the tangles. I am going to start tightening the locs for 15 minutes every afternoon and hope that I can get through the other 20%, otherswise Julia will be back in short order. So much for locs being the easy option - it sure doesn't seem that way to me!



My Saturday was very simple. Corn-rows for Bella -


Corn-rows for Selah -


Corn-rows for Tori -

 
And then just for some exciting variety to my day, I cut Elijah's hair!



Can you imagine the free time I would have if I had adopted from China instead of Africa? Good thing I love the kids God gave me!

  1. I had another adoptive mom ask me once, "What was God thinking when he gave them such challenging hair?"

    I told her he was giving us an amazing opportunity to spend plenty of time bonding. :)
