OUT WITH THE OLD....



And finally in with the new. McKenzie decided that she wanted to cut her hair super short like Halie's. So two nights ago I cut about 7 inches off of McKenzie's hair and Halie couldn't hide her excitement.She hasn't smiled that big and been that giddy since - I don't know when. So Richard and I told her that she should ditch her wig the next day at school and tell her classmates that it was too hot so her and McKenzie decided to cut their hair (it has been 105 degrees), and she went for it. Yesterday was the first time that she hasn't worn her wig to school since september. Her hair is so cute, super curly and it has come in dark. She just looks adorable. She said that this boy in her class kept saying to her "Hellooooo beautiful!" all day. And she said that she was much cooler all day. Normally she comes home and her hair is just dripping in sweat. What a huge step for her. It seems like normality is returning to her life. We also got her latest test results and all is still clear. She looks great. Her remaining kidney is functioning great. Life is superb!
