Posted in Emma on April 24th, 2004 by Todd – 1 Comment

Granma Northcutt has been politely suggesting a haircut for quite some time, but Marla and I weren’t convinced. It’s been getting longer and longer and finally we had to admit that being able to see was a little more important than having long, gorgeous locks.
