Hair(less)

Did I tell you that Sarah also gave me a present yesterday?

A really cute pink wig!

How fun!

As for that once-cute short hair cut, it has been shedding so much that much of it is now embedded in a stocking hat that my mom knitted for me. It looks like a mohair hat.

Today, was the day to try to calm some of the shedding. Allan, my brother and volunteer barber, came over this morning with his clippers. My head now feels a bit like Velcro.

My brother. My clipper-hero!



"And even the hairs on your head are all counted.
So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows."
Matthew 10:31-32

Easter and James' Birthday

Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!

This year, we celebrated Easter almost as early as ever.
And this year, it was also on James' birthday, March 23!

It was a lovely day, and I have felt good all week.
James and Sarah took me to the 9:15 service, which was full of joy and celebration.
John's sermon theme emphasized the importance of Christ's resurrection over everything else, and how it gives meaning and perspective to everything else.

It was also a joy to be out and see loved ones at church.
(No hand-shaking/holding though, as I am in my low-immunity time.)

After church, James and Sarah made brunch, perfectly timed for when John came home.
Later, Sarah made dinner, and we also ate James' traditional birthday cake, cookies-and-cream cheesecake, made this year by Sarah.

Happy Birthday # 25 James!
You are a terrific son, and we love you!
