We went this morning for our haircuts.  There was a lot of laughter and everyone had a good time.  Now I look like I'm ready for boot camp!

I posted some pics at my blog (see sig below.)

Hey DR,
Read your blog. Very cute boys. They did a great job with your buzz cut! What fun for them!
Surgery is coming- you will fly through this, I'm sure. Your MRI shows a nicely formed small tumor which is not smashing the brain stem.
Lucky YOU!
Prayers and well wishes on 4 November.

DR ......

Love the pictures of the haircutting party ..... what a wonderful way to defuse a potentially stressful situation for your boys.  ..... and probably for you, as well.

Thoughts and prayers!

Nice do, DR.  Looks like the boys had a great time.  It's not every day you get to give your dad a haircut.

I liked the picture of the Flock of Seagulls, too.  Thank goodness your boys didn't model your new style after them  :D
