Day 9 - A Very Big Day

Today was a wonderful and very BUSY day. It started off with a visit from Grammy and the Monkey Bunch. Greg and I took turns spending a few hours with the little guys. During the switch, they had a huge surprise for AJ. When he came to the window to see them waving, they had a huge sign they had made, that said: "We love you AJ! From Austin, Ryan, Jack" It was very cool!

AJ has made some new friends on the floor. AJ met Austin and Peyton, and the three had a great time together playing games and making crafts. It was a lot of fun and they have already made plans for tomorrow.

The biggest part of the day came this evening when Greg shaved AJ's head. His hair started really falling out today and we decided it was time.

AJ looks great! (We used an electric razor so as to protect him from cuts. The stubble will fall out in the next day or two).


And then it was AJ's turn to shave Greg's head! Yes, I said AJ shaved Greg's head. And Greg looks great too!

Let me just say, I am married to the most amazing husband and father. It was such a selfless thing Greg did so AJ was not going through this alone. I love him more than I ever have!!!!


Chat with you soon! Please keep praying! The Lord is definitely listening and looking after AJ!

PS - Crazy hats start tomorrow!!!!

I'm so glad you have met some friends on the floor AJ! But I know the best part of the day was seeing your brothers through that window!

You and your dad are some very handsome bald men...I love it :)

AJ, I got my head shaved this morning too (but I am nearly bald anyway!) I think you and your dad look great. I am learning lots of bald-guy jokes, so let me know if you need any. I wish my hair would grow back like yours and your dad's will!

Hi AJ,
I think your new haircut is almost as good as your mohawk. I hope you feel better soon. I can't wait until your back in cub scouts.

AJ,

I hope that you had a great day today! We saw Austin, Ryan, Jack and your Grammy at school tonight. My Mom helped them find their classroom. I'm not in class with you or Anna, maybe I will be next year. My teacher's name is Mrs. Miller and she is nice.

We have our webcam set up so maybe I can talk to you soon.

Love,
Claire

Wow! I cant believe yall did this. Both of you have a good looking head. Not just anybody can pull off the bald look. you both look great! I think its great that you are taking lemons and making lemonade. I just hate that greg missed out on the yellow mowhawk though. Maybe when it grows back out????????? Ha-- AJ I am so thankful you are feeling good. Keep getting better!!!!! I will keep you in my prayers.
