Clarification

We've been getting a good deal flak in the comments below (from the Slinger of the family I might observe) concerning Graham's "long" hair. He does not have long hair. True, his current mop wouldn't pass muster at an open ranks inspection, but then again he's not in the military, Adam. A baby with a buzzcut looks ridiculous.

Why are we letting his hair grow?

Well, for many reasons.

First and foremost, he just looks cute. His hair is curly and wavy when it's longer, an effect that would be wholly lacking if it were cut short. Why, his little mullet might almost be described as Hockey Hair, a fine Minnesota tradition.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, there's a family tradition to uphold. You see, Graham's father didn't get his hair cut for the first time until it was much...

much,

much,

MUCH longer:


If it's good enough for the old man, it's good enough for junior.

Correction: It has come to our attention that the post signed "A" was in facted authored by "Aa," who for unknown reasons declined to identify himself properly. Our apologies to A. The Editors.

David & Sarah

I think that you may now have the second argument on your blog. although this one could cause a divide in the family.

I must say that I agree firstly with Uncle Adam in his comment about the fact that G is yours and not mine however do you really think that a mullet is the way to go?

As for you Mr (Grandpa) Slinger please do start a blog I thinnk the photos wil look good although I have a feeling that David and Sarah will win this battle.

Do like the picture of you though David and the fact that it took two people to hold you down before the big cut!!!!

He's a doll, no matter what his hair looks like! It really isn't that long - especially compared to David's when he was a wee one!! It was uncle AA that wrote the first comment, not uncle A. And this is not a blogging argument, either :) We love you all!!
