A boy and his hair

This post is VERY IMPORTANT...there is a secret message here...see if you can catch it!

Today SIG got his first real haircut. I went to my friend A's house. She is a professional hair stylist, and very good at it! She used clippers to give him a basic buzz cut all around. He cried the whole way through, despite watching tv and eating a sucker at the same time! A also cut her son E's hair at the same time - in an effort to show SIG that it would be fun...(but sadly the hint was lost on him). Here is a picture of the two of them showing off their cute new do's:

And, in case you don't know what SIG looked like before his haircut, here is a video that nicely showcases how long his hair was...enjoy!

Did you get that?

Great Family Movie!

Last night we got to see one of our favorite movies on TV...Because of Winn Dixie. The movie is based on the book by the same title and authored by Kate Dicamillo. This is a sweet movie about a lonely young girl, Opal, who adopts an orphaned dog in the local Winn-Dixie grocery store. Winn-Dixie becomes her best friend, and in turn helps her make friends with a variety of other lonely people in their small Florida town. Some of the themes that run through the movie are reconciliation, forgiveness, and friendship. This movie is very family friendly, and a delight to see.

The movie came out in Jan 2005. It stars Jeff Daniels, AnnaSophia Robb, Dave Matthews (of the Dave Matthews band), Cicely Tyson and others. We saw this movie because a friend who is associated with Walden Media (the producer of the film) asked JG to help with some of the marketing for it.

We enjoyed this movie when we first saw it, and even more when we saw it again after a couple years!
