Lena’s Haircut

The Before

OK, this is big news everyone… I know you are all dying to see Machu Picchu pictures, but this is way more important. We have all been waiting a long time for this day! Lena has finally cut her dreads… Of course we’ve captured the whole two-hour long ordeal in glorious stop motion. It was a pretty rough and tedious job for me, and I think pretty painful for Lena. I tried to be as careful as possible, but honestly, I wanted to be finished as fast as possible! In the end though I was pretty proud of my handsome work- Hopefully Lena is too. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time afterwards to have a fashion photo-shoot, so you will have to wait to see some more detailed photos of the amazing work. Trust me though, it’s very chic.

So, we spent the afternoon picking blueberries for our special batch of blueberry pancakes which we wanted to make the next morning.

Lena in the Forest

I think in this moment, Lena is beginning to wonder why we brought her to the woods.

A few photos from hiking in the Appalachian Mountains in Smoky Mountains National Park, near Cherokee, North Carolina. It was a beautiful walk through green forest, along a small creek. We wanted to swim, but the water was so cold. It felt great on the aching feet towards the end of the hike though. We made Lena walk 7 miles that day, and she started getting a little cranky. But she made it in the end, all the way back to the car.
