Jacob's First Haircut

Well, Jacob got his first "official" haircut yesterday, yet it wasn't as I was planning.  On Sunday, we had the privilege of speaking at Calvary Chapel Augusta and Daniel led worship for the service.  It was a blessed time of fellowship as we met more new brothers and sisters in Christ who have committed to praying for us as we prepare to go.  

Jacob was wearing an adorable John-John outfit and as many of you know his hair is a little long and curly.  Well, many people in Augusta thought he was a girl and told Daniel one too many times that "his little girl was adorable."  Daniel was insistent that we needed to cut his hair and I reluctantly agreed that it did need a TRIM.  Well, Monday morning I went to the gym early since it was Daniel's day off and I called him on the way to remind him of something.  No one answered the phone which I thought was odd but I let it go.  About 5 minutes later I get a call from Daniel with these words, "Well, he's a boy again."  I had no idea what he was talking about so he repeated, "He's a boy again."  He then proceeded to tell me that he squirted Jacob's hair with a water bottle and he froze and was so still that he went ahead and cut his hair.  And when I say cut, I mean cut.  It is no trim--it is cut SHORT!!!  I couldn't believe it but he insisted that I gave the okay the day before and I know that he was just waiting for me to walk out the door so he could get down to business.  Anyway, here is a picture of Daniel's barber skills.  You can't see the back of Jacob's head where Daniel cut and didn't think about the fact that because he does have curl if you cut it wet it will lift and be even shorter.  He has what appears to be a "bob" in the back with no hair underneath the outer layer.  I have to say he still is adorable and his father is right pleased with himself!  Men, ya gotta love 'em!!  

Last, we took our Youth Group to Clemson this past Saturday to a FCA Rally and Clemson game.  We took Thomas along with us to his first Clemson game.  He loved it and had a great time cheering on the Tigers.  He also enjoyed the concession stands and didn't understand why we couldn't keep going back for more candy!  He lasted until the 4th quarter and then he was DONE!
