A Birthday + A Haircut

My lovely daughter, Ocean, turned 14 over the weekend. She is the sweetest and kindest teenager I know. She also carries herself with a confidence and joy that I didn't have at 14 (nor do I have now). And, yes, she's tall. I measured her yesterday and she is 5'11" tall.

Here's a video of how she spent her birthday. In the video, you'll also notice our littlest one getting his haircut. I've never cut hair on a kid this young before, and it was crazy hard to do! I just did it with no rhyme or reason because that was the only way to get it done. I even let the other kids cut some, because I figured it didn't matter. I'm surprised it turned out as "good" as it did. It had to be done though. It was starting to look so dumb.




I usually call Solomon "Baby Bear" as a nickname, but now I've taken to calling him "Haircut". Here's a picture of Haircut:
