Long hair

I don't know if I have related this yet on the blog, so I thought I would tell you why these pictures are so important. When we adopted Molly, while the guide was still translating, we asked her if she liked her hair short (she has had it short all of her life). She indicated to us then, by using our guide's long hair as an example, that she wanted to grow her hair long. It has been the one thing that she asked for while joining our family - so we have been trying to be patient as it grows. I have tried a few clips and bows in her hair, but I don't think she feels they are fancy enough. I think she has been longing for me to do her hair like when I do Faith's - up in pony tails with rubber bands and pretty ties. Well, one afternoon I stated that we might be able to try some short pony tails - and I haven't seen her move so quickly as she did to get all the things we needed to put it up. Once it was up, she turned to Nathan and Mike, held up her hand and very firmly stated "Don't touch". There was no way that she wanted those pony tails ruined. So here are the pictures of the big day!
