First real haircut

My BFF from high school cuts hair, so of course I go to her for myself and for Esther's hair. Tina is the best and we always have fun when I go in there.

Esther has been getting her bangs cut since she was nine months old, when her hair first started getting into her eyes a lot. Sometimes I have been the stylist, but Tina has been the primary trimmer.

E's hair has gotten kind of stringy and tangly, probably time for a trim. So I finally took her in to Salon DeSante for her first real haircut.

She looks so small in the chair!

Tina is trying to tell her how cool the cape is. Look! Bears! (Esther rejected the cape. After E's cut, I had a bit of a trim and wore the cape. When we got in the car, E tried to pull her blanket up over her shoulders like the cape.)

The amazing Tina hard at work on a very wiggly client!

Finished product!

I'm feeling lucky

I have Picasa, Google's photo-editing app. It's easy and as far as I can tell, it gets the job done.
There's one button on there that  basically does all the functions at once: color, contrast, lighting, etc. It uses Google's "I'm feeling lucky" and every once in a while, there's a picture that makes me say, "Yes, yes I am."

Today it was Esther's grin during her haircut.

She is totally cheesing for the camera.
