Since Elliott will be having brain surgery soon, he'll have to cut his hair. In the 15 years that I've known him, I have never seen him with short hair, so I can't even imagine it. However, he's wanted to cut his hair for a while, and he thinks that brain surgery is the perfect motivation to go ahead and do it!
So, I wanted to take some pics of the long haired daddy with his baby girls before his big haircut. E(2) was not very happy (which was a good distraction for me...I was so busy trying to make her smile that I forgot to be sad...not sad that Elliott is cutting his hair just sad that a brain tumor is the cause of it), so I'm hoping we'll have time to do another photo shoot this weekend.
I'm hoping to get back into the habit of writing posts to this blog again soon. While my thoughts are full of Elliott, brain tumors, surgery, etc, we are still doing fun things that I want to share and don't want to forget. This blog is the best way to do both. While I have no intention to getting back into the routine of writing daily posts, I am hoping to write at least 2 or 3 posts a week (that are not related to surgery, brain tumors, etc.). Thank you again for all of the wonderfully supportive comments and emails!
Lovely photos, oozing full of love and family warmth! I pray that your family will emerge this victourious and stronger than ever before! Hugs from singapore.

ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you and Elliott and your family, Melissa. What beautiful photos - they made me smile today (that last shot, especially)!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures! I claim healing for your husband!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures, and especially that last one.
ReplyDeleteI think of your family often, what you must be going through. And I have two mommy friends who each have a child with serious illness (cancer). I think of them a lot, too, and try to be thankful every day. Give me a shout out if you need any guest blog posts from me during this time. Hugs from Jason--he's getting so big!
