Rockin' the Mullet No More

This is the first picture we ever saw of Karina. Those dark eyes and that hair, oh that crazy hair. The mama in me wanted to reach right across the world and push it to the side and place the cutest clippy in her hair.

Here's a picture from the first day we met Karina. The first thing the lady with us from our agency said, and the first thing we thought . . . they cut her hair!! 

Now understandably that hair can be a lot of work. And I'm sure it was getting all knotted and gross and a helpful caretaker decided it was time for a haircut. But they left the back. So Karina had a certified mullet. A Billy Ray Cyrus mullet that made you want to break out singing "achy breaky heart". But she was beautiful and we loved her. I told her that she was rockin' that mullet. 

On future visits her top hair grew out, but the back continued to grow too. Oh mullet.

She sort of had a wispy 80's hair thing going on for a little bit with those cute curls. Sort of. If you imagine enough.

Here's the hair right before she got her first American haircut.

Miss Deb was so sweet and offered to come to our house so Karina didn't get so overwhelmed.

Goodbye mullet . . . 

Hello cute little girl bob!

Yes, I celebrated with a nutritious McDonald's meal and Braden gave her a one gun salute.

We always thought you were beautiful Karina, but look how cute you are now!!!
