Emma and Devree camping May 2008

As many of you know our good friends here in Dayton have a daughter who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and it’s cancerous. If you want to read their story you can click on Devree on my blog.
Devree has had a huge impact on my Emma. When Emma was in Kindergarten she would sit with Emma on the bus and make sure she made it to her classroom safely. Devree is 5 years older then Emma but has always treated Emma as an equal. She has attended Emma’s birthday parties, and is never embarrassed about hanging out with little pipsqueaks, I think was her term of endearment for Emma and her friends.
Anyway, Devree has shaved her head for the radiation that she is currently undergoing, and wants a wig so Emma was very excited to donate her hair for this purpose. So today Emma got her hair cut and I just wanted to share the before and after pictures. I think she looks older, but very cute.
