“Carrie has a pound of black soap for your hair if you want it,” Collette told OLeif that morning. “It might help.”
“I don’t know…” OLeif teased. “will it turn me into…”

Baby Hesed was dropped off by his mama in the afternoon for about two hours. Puck was very excited to escort him from ‘toy center’ to ‘toy center’ while Carrie prepared pancakes from scratch, eggs, and bacon. Hesed was particularly interested in the bacon and continued to ask for ‘more bacon, more bacon!’.
