Gail and 's pics...

[Guest guest]

Thank you for responding Gail. Gives me hope.

As far as pics, I will be posting them soon. Just got a new

computer (part of the reason why I haven't been on the group in a

while) and will be learing soon how to scan. May need help with

that!

> You sound exactly how I felt when Sam graduated. I really wanted

someone to say that he needed a second band, but no one did. Also,

our insurance still has not paid for his first band, and we really

couldn't afford to pay for another band at the time. I'm happy to

say that things are turning out fine for Sam. He has had continued

rounding and I have even been brave enough to buzz his hair a few

times this summer. He has the same cowlick issue, but he really

does look fine. I have days when I don't think so, but for the most

part I'm happy with how he looks. My wish for you is that

keeps rounding. Regardless, I'm sure he has come a long way. Now

let's see some pictures.
