New haircut

In May Monte got a new haircut, got his first buzz in a long time. There is a young boy in our church who is going through chemo and has lost his hair. So for his birthday his family wanted to have a "shave your head " party for anyone who wanted to also. A couple ladies did balloons, their was food, all donated by friends showing support. We went not expecting Monte to do his hair, I feared the worst of what he would look like. But we ended up very very surprised by some of the people who had. There were bald heads everywhere, it ended being about 65 men and boys, it was very touching! It took me a good week to get used to his new look and everytime Jr saw him he would point to his Dad's head and say "uh oh". I think he looks great now, and we are so glad we did, we admire this family and feel for them and the hardship they are going through.
There were tshirts given that said "I shaved my head for Ty" and they actually ran out. This is all the guys with their new do's.
